大方廣圓覺修多羅了義經略疏 1.188

1.188

問：「修多羅與經，但唐梵之文異。今雙置題目，豈非繁重？」答：「上則總指諸部，此則唯目當經，對總歎別，故非重也。亦如《大方等修多羅王經》，豈不亦『修多羅王』四字是總，指諸部以歎其經耶？」

Question: "'Sūtra' (xiu-duo-luo) and 'scripture' (jing) are merely the difference between Sanskrit and Chinese. Placing both in the title now—is that not redundant?" Answer: "The former refers generally to all divisions of scripture, while the latter designates only this present scripture. Extolling the specific in contrast to the general is therefore not redundant. Just as in the *Great Vaipulya King of Sūtras Sūtra* (*Mahāvaipulya-sūtrarāja-sūtra*), is it not also that the four characters 'King of Sūtras' are general, pointing to all divisions to praise that scripture?"
