Tenth, the samādhi of the unobstructed wheel is also first queried, next explained, and finally concluded. In the explanation there are three: 1. explaining the expedient means at the time of entering; 2. from "Sons of the Buddha, after a bodhisattva-mahāsattva abides in this samādhi" onward, explaining the cognitive function after having entered; 3. from "Sons of the Buddha, when a bodhisattva-mahāsattva enters the dwelling place of Samantabhadra" onward, the completion of the samādhi and the generated benefits. Now, in the first part, there are twenty-two clauses, which also concurrently reveal the name of the samādhi. The first eleven clauses are the unobstructiveness of causal function, which is the meaning of "unobstructed"; the latter eleven clauses, from "universally entering" onward, are the perfection of abiding in the fruit, which is the meaning of "wheel." Now, in the first section, this very unobstructiveness leaves nothing uncrushed, which is also the meaning of "wheel." The first three clauses are the unobstructedness of the three modes of karma; the next clause is the unobstructedness regarding the container world; the next two clauses are the unobstructedness regarding the world of sentient beings; the remaining clauses are the unobstructedness regarding the enlightened cognitive awareness. In the subsequent abiding in the fruit: two wisdoms penetrate the provisional and the ultimate, hence it says "universally abiding"; three perform deeds of benefit and joy; four purify the seeds of the two obscurations. Seven wisdoms accord with the Buddha's sphere, and the remaining seven can be understood.
