Fifth, to display the virtues of the fruit: This means that within this root Dharma, the superior virtues of the Buddha are displayed to cause the bodhisattvas to have faith, aspire toward them, and realize them. If one does not recognize a precious jade, one cannot obtain its use; if one does not know of these virtues, how could one look up to and seek them? / Now, the virtues of the fruit are of two kinds: first, the dependent fruit, which refers to the ocean of worlds of Padmagarbha, and so forth; second, the primary fruit, which refers to the Tathāgata's ten bodies, and so forth. The non-obstruction of these two constitutes the Buddha's virtues. Now, the non-obstruction of the dependent and primary encompasses six propositions: first, the dependent manifests within the dependent, like an ocean of kṣetras within a dust mote; second, the primary manifests within the primary, like Buddhas manifesting within a pore; third, the dependent manifests within the primary; fourth, the primary manifests within the dependent; fifth, both the dependent and primary manifest within the dependent; sixth, both the primary and dependent manifest within the primary. The texts showing this are not singular. Furthermore, there are four propositions: first, either solely dependent, because the Buddha is identical to the kṣetra; second, or solely primary, because the kṣetra is identical to the Buddha; third, both; fourth, both extinguished. One can understand this by contemplating it. Whichever portal is raised, it subsumes all, and all are as explained below.
