The verse text has thirty-four gāthās and contains two parts: first, four verses explaining one's own wheel of confusion from beginninglessness; second, thirty verses requesting gracious consideration. The first part has two: the first two distinguish the substance of delusion; the next two explain faults; the latter thirty verses constitute thirty matters, in each of which there are two: the first three lines praise virtue, and the following one line requests guidance. Third, within responding to desires, praising, and instructing, there are two: first prose, next verses. The first text has two: first, praise; next, from "Therefore..." onward, instruction. The first text has three, and the second text has two, which are evident. Second, within the verses, there are two: first, prose introduction; second, the verses. There are ten gāthās, divided into five: the first two directly praise Sudhana's ability to possess the great mind; the next one adduces other bodhisattvas to show accomplishment; the next one again generally praises Sudhana; the next five present five meanings to praise Sudhana's virtues; the next one adduces benefits in praise.
