View source for Two reasons for applying a title to a text

There are '''two reasons for applying a title to a text''' and proclaiming it in the beginning. 

#Once one has understood the relationship between title and contents, one can identify the text one wants to read and leave the others aside.
#When a title has been given that reflects the subject of the text, a person of superior capacity, merely on seeing it, will have a grasp of the entire message of the text. A person of moderate capacity will understand its general gist, while a person of only modest ability will be able to find the volume easily, just as one can identify a medicine by looking at a label on the bottle.<ref>[[Khenpo Kunpal]], [[Drops of Nectar|The Nectar of Manjushri’s Speech]], a detailed commentary on [[Shantideva]]’s [[Bodhicharyavatara|Way of the Bodhisattva]], page 30.
