Within the first text, there are broadly four points: first, generally revealing the fault; second, demanding the reason; third, answering to reveal what is right; fourth, adducing contemplation and thorough penetration to conclude the characteristics of practice. As for the text saying that 'adorning the Buddha-land' is 'not called a bodhisattva', the verse in the treatise says: 'Not understanding the true realm of reality, / Giving rise to the intention to deliver sentient beings, / And to purify lands: / Giving rise to [such] thoughts is indeed inversion.' Therefore they are not called a bodhisattva. Moreover, when the text says that 'adorning the Buddha-land' 'is not adorning', if a bodhisattva thoroughly penetrates the selflessness of dharmas, they give rise to confidence from their own wisdom. Thus, this confidence and wisdom together encompass the arising of conventional-truth bodhisattvas and the arising of supramundane bodhisattvas; therefore the sūtra text repeats 'bodhisattva-bodhisattva.'
