55.26

In the commentary, “The first verse versifies the preceding section” means it recapitulates what was praised before. “Pure, clear, and possessing faith”: faith means according with teaching. It corresponds to “purely cleansing one's reflections and thoughts” and so forth in the preceding section, which is “purely cleansing the profound mind” in the prose. Although the previous pure, profound mind combined teaching and realization, here they are divided into two, and hence it says “possessing faith.” “All the rest possess realization”: “broad wisdom” is the previous “abandoning delusion and confusion, having no defilements,” which is “abandoning foolishness and doubt” in the prose. “Profound, clear, sharp, and able to definitively discern” is the subsequent sūtra text from “profound mind with faith and understanding” downward, which in the prose is “in the profound Dharma not following other teachings.” In the commentary, “'Like a mountain and like an ocean' doubly illustrates teaching and realization”: “moving” means wavering; “overturning” means reversing. Here, with definitive faith in the teaching that is unshakeable, there is no further overturning; with respect to realization it is likewise.
