Regarding the commentary's statement "If [considered] in terms of that which is realized, it is solely with respect to dhāraṇī": fourth, realizing tathatā, to clarify that what flows forth is the teaching of the Dharma. Now, as for the realized tathatā, the treatise itself explains: "This has two meanings: first, by attaining the three wisdoms to illuminate the Great Vehicle teachings, one contemplates this fundamental tathatā of the teachings, for tathatā is the superior outflow." The commentary explains: "This is because the teachings flowing from tathatā are the most superior. Second, if one realizes this tathatā, one's exposition of the Dharma is superior." Hence the commentary concludes: "Capable of abandoning body and life to seek this good exposition"—good exposition means superior. Now, from "abandoning this body" onward, this is Bodhisattva Asabhāva's commentary on the *Mahāyānasaṃgraha*, saying: "This means that the teachings flowing from this are the most superior; therefore, abandoning body and life to seek this good exposition is not considered difficult."
