Third, regarding differentiation in accordance with great compassion: it means that the various non-Buddhists seek a divergent liberation, taking [the heaven of] neither-perception and so forth as nirvāṇa. The bodhisattva contemplates them and sees they are merely branches of existence, not free from the bondage of defilement, lacking the true purity and virtue of nirvāṇa; therefore he gives rise to great compassion, hence stating 'thus defilement again produces bondage'.
