2.14

Regarding “Shared in having an order”: because the six matters are shared. It should say that the circumstances and narration are each distinct; not mentioning narration is merely an abbreviation of the text. For instance, other sūtras mostly take auspicious signs as the circumstance and the raising of doubts as the narration, while this sūtra takes grave illness as the circumstance and seeking rescue as the narration; hence it says 'each distinct'. This subsumes the former three prefaces into the two prefaces: shared and distinct.
