46.14

(Within the second major section:) Regarding the commentary's remark, "Or alternatively, the second section clarifies pariṇāmanā": Because in terms of stages the first [section] corresponds to the ten abodes, and the three clarities and ten pāramitās are identical with the ten practices, matching the second [section] to pariṇāmanā and the fourth to the ten stages fully completes the vertical progression of stages. This assignment is made because within the second section, "indestructible supernatural powers" and so forth also convey the sense of pariṇāmanā, and within the fourth section, "universally entering buddha-kṣetras" and so forth also possess the essential disposition of the ten stages. This is because between the second and third [sections] there is a reversal of sequence, and between the second and fourth [sections] it is not obvious. The previous [explanation] is the primary interpretation; the latter three pervade all stages. (Within the primary recompense:) Regarding the commentary's citation, "When feelings stir within, they take shape in words" and so on: This comes from Zixia's "Preface to the Book of Songs," which states in full: "Feelings stir within and take shape in words. When words are insufficient, one sighs over them. When sighing is insufficient, one chants and sings them. When chanting and singing are insufficient, unconsciously the hands dance them and the feet stamp them."
