5.11

From "Adornment is twofold" downward explains the second half. First, the two lands are listed: "physical form" refers to the land of phenomenal characteristics, namely golden grounds, jeweled ponds, and the like. To put it concisely, whatever is seen or heard belongs to physical form. "Paramārtha" refers to the land of dharmatā, meaning being free of all characteristics with nothing seen or heard, which is the principle of tathatā.
