Seventh, from "At that time..." downward, is the section of restating in verse (geya). First, to discern the intent of the verses, there are eleven lines: the first line and the last line are the deportment of expounding the verses, and that they are separated is to reveal that the middle nine all receive the Buddha's power and cover the ten directions. The middle nine directly clarify the particulars: the first is general, the rest are specific. Within the specific there are four pairs: first, purifying karma to reveal the noumenon; second, removing delusions to open up faith, since false discrimination is the root of defilement; third, knowing the illness and recognizing the medicine; fourth, contemplating the fruit to purify the cause, which means that through benefiting others, one's own karma becomes pure.
