7.91

From "All dharmas" downward, these five and a half lines form the third [section], versifying the domain of intimacy of dharmic emptiness above. Above, there were originally three parts: first, explaining the domain that is approached; second, explaining that which is able to approach; third, the conclusion. Now, these five and a half lines are directly divided into six parts: First, there is one and a half lines, which first briefly versify the first [part] above, the domain that is approached. Second, from "Perversely discriminating the existence and nonexistence of dharmas" downward, there is one line, which adduces the wrong to show the right—something absent in the prose above—thereby showing that this person cannot engage in the contemplation of intimacy with dharmic emptiness. Third, from "In a quiet place" downward, there is half a line, which directly versifies the second [part] above, that which is able to approach, which corresponds to the "constantly delights in contemplating such marks of dharmas" above. Fourth, from "firmly abiding, motionless" downward, the half line extensively versifies the domain that is approached. Fifth, from "Contemplating all dharmas as having nothing that exists" downward, there is one line and three phrases, which reversely versifies the domain of practice of dharmic emptiness above. Sixth, there is one phrase, which is the concluding phrase for the third [part] above, the domain of intimacy of dharmic emptiness.
