仁王護國般若波羅蜜多經疏 2.373

2.373

The commentary explains: Regarding 'non-arising kṣānti', according to what is appropriate to each, this mostly refers to the non-arising kṣānti prior to the bhūmis. 'Entered the correct stage' refers to the first bhūmi. As for the difference between the verse and the prose: in practicing the various kṣāntis, the practice of self-benefit increases; in transforming sentient beings as a king, the practice of benefiting others is superior. The verse combines both above, which makes the difference. From here, the third section concerns the stages and cognition of the kṣāntis. In this, there are three parts: 1. Confirming what was expounded; 2. The objects and cognition of the stages of kṣānti; 3. Praising the depth of the kṣānti's virtues. The first confirms what was expounded, within which there are four parts. First, the first explains past causes.
