35.45

Regarding the commentary's: "Not having faith in body and mind," this conversely establishes the above meaning. Knowing and seeing characteristics is bodhi; knowing and seeing nature is nirvāṇa. Hence the *Fahua lun* explains opening the Buddha's knowledge and vision as the unexcelled meaning, meaning opening both bodhi and nirvāṇa. As for the commentary's: "The wish-fulfilling jewel has roughly five meanings," it adopts the meanings that correspond to faith. If according to the *Ratnagotravibhāga*, a jewel has six meanings; the verse says: "Real (1), rare in the world (2), / Clear and pure (3), and potent (4), / Able to adorn the world (5), / Foremost and unchanging, etc. (6)." Here, this supreme meaning encompasses the two meanings of 'real' and 'foremost', while the remaining four are identical: the fourth is potency, the fifth is adornment; or omitting adornment, this meaning of collection is added. However, the five meanings of the commentary all contain both dharma and metaphor in their phrasing; reflecting on it, this can be understood.
