2.98

The commentary explains: The 'three realms of existence' refers to the realm of desire, the realm of form, and the formless realm. 'Karmic fruits': 'karma' refers to tainted wholesome and unwholesome karma, aided by afflictive obscurations acting as contributing conditions; 'fruits' refers to the resultant lengths of life and types of rebirth in various destinies, which, being bounded by fixed limits according to the power of causes and conditions, constitute the fruits of portioned [existence]. 'All entirely empty' means that they lack intrinsic nature (niḥsvabhāva) and are all empty and nonexistent. Next is the second section, concluding that ignorance is empty.
