Fifth, the passage beginning "With such minds" clarifies the excellence of sovereign power. Within this there are three parts: first, general; next, particular; finally, the conclusion. In the general part, "such minds" means attaining prajñā. "Increasing and growing ever superior" means the power of practice is superior. "According with bodhi" means being able to enter deeply. There are nine superior powers, opened into particulars from the general: 1. power of subduing; 2. power of superior understanding; 3. power of abandoning the small; 4. power of faith in the profound; 5. power of crushing Māra; 6. power of remedying delusion; 7. power of universal remedying; 8. power of skillful transformation; 9. power of remedying hindrances; all are distinguished as in the treatise. Third, the passage beginning "This bodhisattva" is the conclusion, which can be understood.
