Tenth is the immeasurable pariṇāmanā of entering the dharmadhātu. The good friend is named the Earth Spirit Sthāvarā (Firm Abiding): the earth is that upon which the myriad phenomena rely, which is the entered dharmadhātu. "Firm abiding" is the meaning of entering. Being at the bodhimaṇḍa: the entered dharmadhātu is the place where bodhi is attained, hence bodhi is the source. Previously, "south" had symbolic meaning, proceeding south from the source; now, this is the dharmadhātu of gathering the branches back to the source, hence it does not say "south." Furthermore, above the stages realizing tathatā is also identical to the source. Now the pariṇāmanā is concluded, hence it gathers and returns to this. The text also has six parts. The first is proceeding to seek in accordance with the teaching.
