2.18

Within the text converging direct retribution, the five eyes constitute five sections, and within each section there are two clauses, which can be understood. The reason for the arising of this teaching is: if a bodhisattva does not see, then they have no superior capacity; to answer this doubt, the text says the Tathāgata has the five eyes. Being able to discern all dharmas and seeing that those inverted marks are ultimately unconditioned, they are therefore called the five eyes.
