Second, the reiterative verses. The twenty-one gāthās are divided into three: the first eleven gāthās praise the pariṇāmanā; the next nine gāthās praise the accomplishment of benefits; the final gāthā concludes with praise. Now for the first, divided into two: the first half-gāthā praises the kuśala-mūla that is dedicated; the remaining verses praise taking hold of it to make the pariṇāmanā, within which there are three: the first three and a half gāthās praise dedicating the wholesome deeds one has cultivated, wishing them to become necessities of life to give to sentient beings; next, from "the bodhisattva, for the purpose of saving" onward, five gāthās praise again dedicating this giving, wishing to cause sentient beings to be replete with material goods and Dharma; third, from "the bodhisattva's words" onward, two gāthās praise the dedication to the ultimate limit of reality (bhūta-koṭi). Second, from "knowing all worlds" onward praises the accomplishment of benefits, within which there are three: the first two praise the vastness of the causal virtues; the next five praise the purity of the resultant virtues; the last two praise the equality of the exhaustion of marks. It briefly omits versifying the harmonising of contradictions, as it was already detailed above. However, in versifying the three sections, the manner is slightly different from before: the former directly stated the benefits, while this also reveals the causes of the pariṇāmanā.
