Second is the divine eye. The heading says 'unobstructed' because seeing is sovereign. 'Pure' means free from hindrances. The divine eye is itself the supernormal power. Second, from 'sees immeasurable' onwards, is the explanation, divided into three parts: first, generally clarifying that the characteristics of many realms are distinct, whose wholesome and evil destinies unfold in succession as in the 'Chapter on Clarifying Inquiries'; next, from 'that is to say' onwards, specifically clarifying that the manifold categories are not single, each category having its prior offenses and so forth; third, from 'in such various ways' onwards, illuminating in full detail, where previously it merely observed their present marks, whereas here it illuminates their causes and conditions. The name of the ten clarities is established from this. Therein, first, the capacity to see is distinct; next, from 'according as' onwards, what is seen is fully detailed—stating 'according as' because what is known is not single; last, from 'all without exception' onwards, concludes its infallibility. The text can all be understood.
