Second is the section of restatement in verse. The ten verses divide into two: the first six verses praise the aforementioned essences of the ten accomplished practices; the last four verses praise the virtues accomplished by practice. In the first part, the first two verses praise the Buddhas' rejoicing; within this, the first half-verse praises heedfulness, and the rest praises the Buddhas' rejoicing. Second, there is one verse that praises entering the stages, as well as the great practices and great vows. Third, one verse praises the Bodhisattva-piṭaka, and expounding the Dharma for those who ought to be transformed. Fourth, one verse praises not abandoning one's own practice of the pāramitās, and causing all beings of whom one thinks to attain deliverance. Fifth, a half-verse praises not interrupting the Triratna. Sixth, a half-verse praises the roots of goodness and skillful means never being in vain. Second, from "What the bodhisattva cultivates" below praises the virtues accomplished by practice. The first verse praises the virtues of the cause accomplished through the initial practice; next, there are three verses praising the virtues of the fruit accomplished through the cause. Within these, the first two verses generally praise the preceding eight sections; the last verse separately praises the ninth section, which answered embracing and upholding the true Dharma to adorn oneself, revealing it through similes: first, the deportment is secure and tranquil, praising the preceding manifestation of the body; next, the virtue of discernment is mighty and fierce, praising the preceding fearless eloquence; third, the mind is settled and unmoving, praising reassuring their timid weakness; fourth, the wisdom is deep as the ocean, praising the profound wisdom; fifth, the rain of Dharma extinguishes hindrances, praising the preceding expounding of the Dharma. Third, from "At that time, Dharmamati" clarifies the concluding statement section. This means that because it accords with noumenon and matches capacities, the Buddhas rejoice and the assembly receives it with veneration. The third assembly is concluded.
