From here, the second is distinguishing the fruits of the stage. This means that having accomplished this stage, one obtains such fruits, identical to the fruits such as pliancy and gathering retributions in the Ten Bhūmis below. In this there are three: first, generally showing it, meaning reiterating the accomplishment of the previous stage, hence it says "abiding"; "being able with all..." and so forth distinguishes its superior capability. Second, individually showing what is obtained, meaning that because of the dedication of the roots of goodness that reach all places, one therefore obtains this fruit of reaching all [places]. There are ten: the first three explain the pervasiveness of the three karmas; the next three, the pervasiveness of karmic functions: the first relies on the body to give rise to superknowledges, the second relies on eloquence, and the third relies on the mind knowing dharmas; the lower four show the mastery of functions: 1. mastery over the vessel world, 2. over sentient beings, 3. over kalpas, 4. over moments of thought. Third, from "O sons of the Buddha..." onward, generally concluding what one is capable of, meaning that with all roots of goodness each reaching all places like ultimate reality and being dedicated together, one therefore accomplishes this stage.
