Second, from 'Good man, do you see' downwards shows the retinue of those who generated the resolve whom he transformed. Being born into the family of the Tathāgata is identical to being born in the fourth abode. Third, from 'Good man, I have attained' downwards directly shows the dharmadhātu.

It also symbolizes seeing emptiness, wherein nothing is lacking. Later, from 'Whenever there are' downwards reveals the functional activity. Therein are two parts: 1. A brief presentation; 2. From 'Good man, just wait' downwards, adducing an event for immediate verification. Therein, first seeing the gathering of the assembly; later, from 'At that time, the householder' downwards, extensively giving material goods and Dharma, first giving wealth, and later, from 'And then' downwards, giving Dharma. In giving a single meal, he causes them to accomplish eight practices: the first two pertain to giving, and the remaining six pertain to eating. Eating has five fruits: first, attaining similarity to all dharmas, which is the life of wisdom; second, attaining joy, which is constant peace and happiness; third, possessing the marks and characteristics, which is constant color; fourth and sixth are constant strength; fifth is constant eloquence. Speaking of the mark of supreme taste is because there is a fountain of ambrosia in his teeth. The rest can be inferred and contemplated.
