"Akṣobhya" is translated here as "Immovable." Although he transforms into myriad forms, the true mark is constantly tranquil, hence his name. In order to verify Jingming's superior virtue, because of the sūtra itself, he brings forth the Buddha and manifests the land, therefore establishing the chapter's name. Furthermore, based on the first half of the chapter, it should be called 'Seeing the Tathāgata,' but because the latter half reveals the traces and verifies the sūtra, the name is established following the latter part.
