Regarding the commentary's phrase "This means initiating": below, the commentary explains the aforementioned treatise. Herein there are three parts: first, the direct explanation; second, from "However, innate morality has two aspects" downward, it explains and establishes the preceding meaning. The second aspect, the innate morality of tathatā, establishes the previous upholding of precepts in accord with principle within the purification of initiation. The first aspect, long accumulation becoming innate nature, establishes the previous perfection of innate morality within making the self-nature pure. Third, from "Now conforming to tathatā" downward, it jointly concludes the two preceding meanings.
