Regarding the Commentary from 'Fourth, the next two phrases' downward: this includes the fifth category, namely the qualities accomplished through cultivation during superior progress. The meanings of qualities differ, having two kinds: first, active, which are qualities of the path of instruction, originally absent and now present, cultivated and generated through upāya, hence named active, which is the fourth category; second, inactive, which are qualities of the path of realisation, originally present and now revealed, not generated from cultivation, named inactive, which is the fifth category. These resemble the active purity of wholesome dharmas and the inactive purity of dharmas in the section on supplementary practices. Now, clarifying the fourth: the merits are called mundane, while the wisdom is called supramundane. In the former, acting in accordance with the world explains the sūtra's designation as the 'stage of accomplishment.' Being personally free of actions explains the sūtra's 'having nothing further to do.' Thus, in the lower phrase, 'because of properly discerning with wisdom' is the treatise's sūtra text. 'Because cognitive hindrances are purified' is the treatise's commentary. The words 'properly discerning' above all carry the sense of determination. The Commentary aligns both that sūtra and the treatise with the word 'determination' in the present sūtra.
