4.42

Twelfth question: The Subcommentary on the 'Chapter on Entrustment' notes that the Zheng fahua mistakenly separated the name Bodhisattva Ratnapāṇi into two, additionally adding Ratnamudrāśīrṣa: 'Pāṇi is already a hand, and adding head-crown further splits it into two persons.' A doubter says: 'That sūtra has Bodhisattva Ratnapāṇi and Bodhisattva Mudrāśīrṣa, but no Bodhisattva Ratnamudrāśīrṣa. What is the meaning of now saying that it "additionally added Ratnamudrāśīrṣa"? Moreover, other sūtras also have these three bodhisattvas; why take the trouble to refute it?'
