7.5

In the verses:
The first verse generally shows that the Buddha has already eliminated enemies. The greatest among enemies does not exceed arrogance: if one possesses it, one is base and ugly; if one eliminates it, one is dignified and majestic.
The next four verses are self-evident.
In the sixth, the first line is the ocean of desires. Desire is the root of suffering, hence it says 'possessing all sufferings'. The next two lines are the exhaustion [of desires]. Since desire and evil have ceased, wholesome practices should be spoken.
In the seventh, the first line is universally manifesting body-clouds. The next line explains the lightning flashes of equality, hence it says 'various'. The next line also explains thunder and rain. Thunder has two meanings: first, shaking from afar; second, generating, meaning dormant insects stir and grass and trees sprout. The thunder of the perfect sound can be inferred in like manner.
The remaining three are self-evident.
