"And then spoke in verse": from here down is the second [section], the reiterative verses. In the prose text above, there were originally two [parts]: first, directly explaining the substance of practice; second, explaining the marks of ease and happiness. Now these fourteen and a half lines of verse are divided into two: first, there are four lines that directly versify the above explanation of the substance of practice; second, ten and a half lines that versify the second [part], the marks of ease and happiness. Within the substance of practice above, there were originally two: first, briefly explaining great benevolence; second, extensively explaining great compassion. Now these four lines can only versify them in common and cannot be divided.
