Tenth, the ten dharmas of the crop-ruling spirits: First, the two kinds of Dharma-flavors—merit and wisdom—nourish and complete the Buddha's body. Second, joy arises from the elimination of suffering. Third, sentient beings are the domain to be purified. Fourth, compassion is profound, hence pervasive reach is vast. Fifth, planting seeds in the field of living beings will surely reach the indestructible fruit. Sixth, wisdom spreads faith among living beings; attaining the fruit is called 'blossoming.' Seventh, viewing living beings with eyes of compassion, hence assemblies of merit are immeasurable; compassion is tranquil, harmonious, and joyful, which the verse calls the 'superior path.' Eighth, becoming a Buddha through practice, hence it is proclaimed as soon as it is realized. Ninth, laxity in cultivation breeds sorrow and distress; diligently urging the sense faculties purifies all evils. Tenth, preaching in accord with capacities; granting their wishes brings joy.
