In the verses, there are also eleven.
In the first, stating 'equal': because the manner of transformation is the same. Furthermore, it is only by worldly words and numbers that the three periods of time are spoken of; it does not mean that the Tathāgata has past, future, or present.
In the second: the first line is vast; the next line is peerless; the next line is pure. Now, ancient worthies explained the penetrations with six meanings: first, vast, meaning taking the entire dharmadhātu as the body; second, pervasive, fully pervading from a single dust mote to the ten directions; third, wondrous, form being identical with non-form, the form of non-form; fourth, supreme, having no comparison; fifth, beneficial, benefiting beings boundlessly; sixth, functional, light shattering darkness.
In the third: the first half is the cloud of compassion: the upper line is the greatness of the fruit; the lower line is the depth of the cause. All Buddha-dharmas rely on compassion, and compassion again relies on expedient means; both are described as deep and vast, hence the word 'ocean' is used. The next line is universal covering.
The next six verses can all be understood from their texts.
In the tenth: the first two lines refer to the previous 'wholesome roots with little merit,' using the little to illustrate the much, highlighting the cause as supreme; the next line is rebirth among humans and devas, hence leaving the terrors of the three evil destinies.
In the eleventh: the first line is the dharma that can reveal, which is the penetration of quiescent wisdom; the next two lines: because of universal response, all doubts are severed.
