Exposition: As for the "path lineage": "path" refers to the noble path of equality of the first bhūmi. This leads to its arising and serves as the seed for the path. Being the seed of the path and the nature of the seed, it is named "path lineage," both being dependent compounds (tatpuruṣa). "Bodhisattvas" mentions those capable of the practice. "Cultivate the ten dedications" is a brief designation. As the "Chapter on the Ten Dedications" of the Avataṃsaka Sūtra states: "Namely, the dedication of saving and protecting all sentient beings while departing from the sign of sentient beings; the dedication of indestructible [faith]; the dedication of being equal to all buddhas; the dedication of reaching all places; the dedication of inexhaustible stores of merit; the dedication of according with and consolidating all wholesome roots; the dedication of equally according with all sentient beings; the dedication of true reality; the dedication of unattached and unbonded liberation; and the dedication of equality with the immeasurable dharma realm." The meaning is as explained below. Second from here is the proper exposition of cultivation. It is divided into two: first is a general designation of the ten kṣāntis.
