"The form of body and speech" refers to transformational form. Contemplating form as identical with the nature of phenomena, nothing is left unilluminated. Below "Blazing wisdom," the fourth section consists of eight lines that praise the patience of accord from the fourth ground upward. Within these eight lines there are two sections: the first six lines praise the patience of accord above, and the last two lines are a general summary and conclusion. The first six lines have three parts: two lines praise the lower grade, the next two lines praise the middle grade, and the next two lines praise the upper grade. The first two lines have four phrases: the first phrase names "vigor" because vigor is predominant on the fourth ground; the next phrase clarifies the lands converted by the king of that ground; next, clarifying "actual wisdom," because on the fourth ground one converts others to make them realize it, it is called actual wisdom, and being pure and unattached is the path of upāya. This actual wisdom is the actual of upāya, and since the ground is termed actual, it says "conditioned on the actual." Actual wisdom contemplates emptiness and wisdom of upāya illuminates existence; hence it says "penetrating the unborn, illuminating emptiness and existence completely." From "Supreme wisdom" down, the two lines of four phrases have four distinctions: the first phrase is the name of the ground, naturally penetrating the three clarities; the next phrase clarifies the lands converted by the king of that ground; in the next phrase, "emptiness of emptiness" means dispatching emptiness through emptiness, hence it says "emptiness of emptiness"; "without dual characteristics" means without the characteristics of the two truths; the next phrase clarifies converting living beings in the six destinies. From "Dharma Manifestation" down, the four phrases praise the sixth ground, having four distinctions: "Dharma Manifestation" is the Ground of Direct Presence (Abhimukhī); "great master" refers to the person within the ground, called "great being" and also "great master"; "sovereign king" is the recompense fruit; "without duality and without illumination" is the emptiness of principle.
