62.6

On the Commentary's text from "Now, first, the ten dharma-illumination gates" below, the text of the Commentary has five parts: first, explaining the gate alone; second, from "Therefore the treatise-sūtra calls it entry," citing proof, for the treatise-sūtra states: "Because one should enter the fourth bhūmi by means of the ten dharma-illuminations"; third, from "Illumination is" below, explaining both illumination and gate; fourth, from "Therefore the treatise states" below, adducing the treatise to explain; fifth, from "Regarding the cognition that realizes the bhūmi" below, the Commentary explains the treatise. Within this there are five: first, directly explaining the radiance of the cognition that realizes the bhūmi; second, from "Just as" below, citing an analogy to explain; third, from "Therefore in the previous bhūmi" below, citing proof to explain; fourth, from "Regarding what is spoken" below, explaining the phrase "spoken dharmas" in the subsequent clause; fifth, from "And thereupon" below, comprehensively explaining the subsequent clause on entering into the dharmas spoken by the Tathāgata based on that cognitive radiance—what the treatise-sūtra calls "contemplation" is simply "investigation" in the present sūtra. As for the Commentary's "briefly explaining it through a threefold manner": first, explaining via general and specific; second, explaining via defilement and purity; third, explaining via the supported and the supporting—the text is explained according to the third.
