第二行校量中有二：先明大願熏心令心調暢堪能起行、二「如是則成信者」下攝行成人正顯所修。前中二：初決定發願者，牒前大願以用熏心。二「則得」下正顯大願熏心成益。十心中，初句總、餘九別。總中，利是增益義、安是順理義。又障不能動是安也，令行增長是利也。別中，一柔軟者，性善故；二調順，者離惡故；三寂靜者，不亂故；四不放逸者，不失念故；五寂滅者，不起煩惱故；六直心者，正向真理故；七和潤者，救護眾生故；八不恚者，不捨眾生故；九不濁者，不雜餘心故。自下正顯所成行相。於此十行略作七門：一顯名、二辨體、三明成處、四約心行分別相、五約二利分別、六明次第、七釋文。

Second, within the evaluation of practice, there are two parts: first, explaining that the great vows perfumed the mind, making the mind pliable, smooth, and capable of initiating practice; second, from "being thus, one becomes one of faith" onward, gathering practice to accomplish the person and directly revealing what is cultivated. In the first part, there are two: first, definitively making vows repeats the previous great vows in order to perfume the mind; second, from "then one attains" onward directly reveals that the great vows perfuming the mind bring benefits. Among the ten minds, the first clause is general, and the remaining nine are specific. In the general, "beneficial" means increasing and augmenting; "peaceful" means according with principle. Furthermore, that obstacles cannot shake it is "peaceful"; causing practice to grow is "beneficial." In the specific: (1) "pliant," because its nature is wholesome; (2) "subdued," because it is free from evil; (3) "quiescent," because it is undisturbed; (4) "non-negligent," because mindfulness is not lost; (5) "extinguished," because defilements do not arise; (6) "straightforward mind," because it directly faces true reality; (7) "harmonious and moistening," because it rescues and protects sentient beings; (8) "free from anger," because it does not abandon sentient beings; (9) "unclouded," because it is not mixed with other minds. From here onward, the aspects of the practices accomplished are directly revealed. Regarding these ten practices, seven gates are briefly established: 1. revealing their names; 2. discerning their essence; 3. clarifying the locus of their accomplishment; 4. distinguishing their characteristics with respect to mental activities; 5. distinguishing them with respect to the two benefits; 6. explaining their sequence; 7. explaining the text.
