Third, attaining superior practice. Regarding the commentary's "The remaining seven distinctly..." and below: the text of the commentary has two parts: first, explaining according to the text; later, summarizing the antidotes to hindrances. Now for the first: among the seven, the first clarifies that the seventh stage does not know it, hence it says, "it directly brings this out in contrast to the lower [stages]." The second demonstrates equality with respect to superiority, being equal to those who have attained the eighth stage. The third directly demonstrates the superior characteristic, hence it says, "the boundaries are uniquely severed," which is the sphere of demarcated boundaries. Therefore, below it summarizes the three phrases as the spheres and boundaries being uniquely severed.
