7.40

Fourteenth, the ten dharmas of the earth-ruling spirits: First, universally contemplating with equality in thought after thought without interruption, cultivating compassion and protecting the Dharma, one thus attains a vajra body. Vajra is the reality of inner illumination. Second, the power of merit of a single hair-pore suddenly manifests all merits. Third, realizing and entering the unproduced does not obstruct the adornment of kṣetras. Fourth, exclusively for the sake of others. Fifth, contemplating capacities and appearing is called 'playful sport.' Sixth, manifesting a body that purifies delusions, only then taming the delusions of living beings. Seventh, internally possessing an ocean of virtues and manifesting a body of majestic power, just as the earth contains the moisture of the sea to produce the hundred grains, for the sprouts and crops of the hundred grains are all the fragrant hair-pores of the earth. Eighth, in the prose, a single word encompasses everything without remainder; in the verses, a single word is everywhere pervasive and limitless. Ninth, blazing clouds are pervasive, taking living beings' departure from defilement as their nature. Tenth, the Dharma can maintain mental practices, like a vajra wheel. The Buddha, unmoving, appears in the world, like Mount Sumeru emerging from the ocean. In the verses below, there are also two lines that conclude the Dharma by attributing it to persons, which can be grasped from the meaning.
