Explanation: 'Exist because of the ten bhūmis': the text says 'ten bhūmis', but its meaning subsumes the three ranks of worthies, which are the causal existence of bodhisattvas. 'Exist because of the fruit of buddhahood' means that they exist because of the three bodies. It can also be said: in the causal stages of progress, the truth of the path (mārga-satya) is not yet complete; in the fruitional stage, because the category of wisdom of the truth of the path is complete, and because the liberation dharmakāya of the truth of cessation (nirodha-satya) is complete, paired with the previous suffering and origin, these constitute the four noble truths. 'All exist': this clause universally concludes that all worldly and transworldly [phenomena] exist. Moreover, to analyze this text: the very first clause universally indicates conditioned [phenomena]; the middle part is divided into three: existing because of the three accumulations, existing worldly, and existing transworldly; and the final clause universally concludes conditioned [phenomena]. It is fully evident from the text. Next is the second [section], explaining the emptiness of self and phenomena. Within this there are two: first, explaining the emptiness of self and phenomena; second, explaining the non-arising of views. First, the emptiness of self and phenomena, within which there are three: first, indicating the characteristics of self and phenomena.
