維摩經疏卷第三．第六 6.81

6.81

In the fourth part, entrusting the Dharma to Ānanda, there are four distinctions: 1. The Buddha commands Ānanda to make it widely known; 2. Ānanda obeys the command to receive and uphold it; 3. Ānanda asks for the sūtra's title; 4. The Buddha establishes the sūtra's title, universally causing people to cultivate and study it. "This is named 'What is Spoken by Vimalakīrti'": the name is established based on the person. In principle, this sūtra was spoken jointly by many people, yet the Buddha specifically named it as spoken by Vimalakīrti because the focal capacity lay with Vimalakīrti; hence it is specifically so stated. "It is also named 'Inconceivable'": the name is established based on the Dharma.
