Third, from 'Sarvagāmin answered, saying' onward, is praising and conferring the Dharma: first, praising the generation of the mind; later, from 'Good son' onward, directly conferring the dharmadhātu. Therein are two: first, showing that the name and essence have four [meanings], which is because wisdom knows all ubiquitously. Although the four meanings are distinct, they accomplish one another: 1. The realm of transformation is universal, and the name Sarvagāmin ('Everywhere-Faring') is also established from this; 2. Entering samādhi to contemplate capacities; 3. Due to unconditioned spiritual penetrations, being able to reach all the places mentioned before; 4. Due to universal-gate prajñā, being able to contemplate universally while in samādhi. In terms of their distinctions: unconditioned and without reliance, functioning without abiding; universal-gate prajñā exhausts all dharmas without exception. Second, from 'Good son, I universally...' onward, reveals the four activities and functions, divided into four: 1. Explaining the function of reaching all places. 2. From 'or dwelling in various views' onward, the function of universally contemplating the world, contemplating what is suitable for them and speaking accordingly. 3. From 'Furthermore, good son, this Tosala...' onward, explaining the function of unconditioned and non-reliant, hence it says 'they do not know from whence he came.' 4. From 'Good son, within Jambudvīpa' onward, the function of universal-gate prajñā, being able to exhaust all ninety-six kinds [of non-Buddhists]. The above assigns them distinctly according to what is prominent, but in reality their meaning is mutually pervasive.
