Second, from "Seeing her" downward is seeing, paying homage, and inquiring. Within seeing, first seeing the circumstantial retribution: in ultimate emptiness no virtue is lacking, and therefore its adornments are extensively revealed; afterward, from "At that time" downward, seeing the direct retribution, fully possessing the virtues and functions of principal and retinue. Second, from "At that time Sudhana stepped forward to approach" downward is paying homage and inquiring, which may be understood. Third, from "She then told" downward confers her own dharmadhātu. Within this, there are three [parts]: first, positing the name. As for the "limit of detachment from desire": ordinary people are tainted by desire; the two vehicles see desire as something that can be abandoned; bodhisattvas do not sever desire yet attain liberation, for wisdom understands its nature is empty and desire is itself the path. Being tainted yet untainted in this way is precisely the ultimate limit of detachment from desire. Second, from "In accordance with their" downward reveals the functions of activity. Within this, first her body appears in the same category; afterward, in "if there are sentient beings" downward, within benefiting beings through the Dharma, there are ten kinds of samādhi, all attaining these profound samādhis in accordance with what is appropriate when experiencing desire; reflect on this. Third, from "Sudhana said to her" downward is the causes and conditions of attaining the Dharma, first asking and afterward answering. Giving a single precious coin has two meanings: (1) it was a jewel and yet he could give it away, hence attaining detachment from desire; (2) although a single coin is trivial, through the bodhicitta, it accomplished this sovereignty.
