7.52

From "the mahāsattva" below, secondly, the fruits of the stage are explained. Therein, first, ten clauses show them distinctively, and then one clause provides a summary conclusion. In the former: first is the benefit of seeing the Buddha; second is the benefit of obtaining the Dharma; the eight below are the benefits of completing practices. Third, from "universally toward sentient beings" below, the mind benefiting beings is completed; fourth, abandoning ignorance and entering the Dharma, the understanding of the benefit of oneself is completed; the above completes the practices of one's own stage. Below, superior progress is clarified: fifth, obtaining all tathāgatas, etc., clarifies destroying evil and establishing practice; sixth, being fully endowed with noble birth, etc., clarifies being endowed with the foundation of right practice, meaning that the world-transcending mind constitutes noble birth, and also because one is born from the true Dharma of the Buddha; seventh, obtaining unobstructed wisdom, etc., clarifies great wisdom arising internally; eighth, regarding all dharmas, etc., wisdom arises and illumines the real—the above completes wisdom regarding the realm of the enlightened ones; ninth, from "in all lands" below, wisdom regarding the vessel world is completed; tenth, from "wisdom being fully endowed" below, wisdom regarding the world of sentient beings is completed. The subsequent clause is a summary conclusion, which can be understood.
