12.43

Sixth, from "This bodhisattva cultivates..." onward explains the fulfillment of the fundamental realm of mind: because the joyful desire based on the factors of bodhi is fulfilled, it says "purification of the straightforward mind." In the specific presentation below: 1. That mind seeking the factors of the path is increased by the preceding practice of vigor, hence it says "does not lose the deep mind"; 2. In the superior realization, an increasingly determined mind is generated, hence it says "understanding and resolution are bright and sharp"; 3. As for the causes of that superior realization, practices that counteract faults increase, hence it says "roots of goodness increase"; 4. Eradicating all hindrances, hence it says "leaves behind worldly defilement far behind"; 5. Removing the secret doubts concerning this bhūmi, hence it says "lack of faith is entirely extinguished"; 6. Because doubt is removed, there is determination in other regards, hence it says "without doubt and without regret," etc.; 7. Based on the power to transform sentient beings—meaning the Buddha's power can transform sentient beings—it therefore says "toward all buddhas," etc.; 8. Based on superior joyful practice, inner realization is concordant, hence it says "spontaneously delights in practice"; 9. Based on manifesting the mind of immeasurable samādhis, cognitive obscurations are purified, hence it says "the immeasurable mind," and so forth. The above concludes the fruits of practice.
