Regarding the Commentary's statement, "Second, from 'What are they...' downward, asking and listing": the text of the Commentary has four parts: first, indicating. Second, from "The ancients assigned them to stages..." downward, recounting the ancient explanations; the Kanding is the same as this. Third, from "This explanation is not without reason..." downward, analyzing harmony and contradiction. Fourth, from "Furthermore, what is obstructed..." downward, establishing the correct meaning. This is still an ancient explanation, which is why the word "furthermore" is used. The intention of the Commentary is to adopt this, not wishing to rigidly restrict the allocation; hence it serves as the correct meaning.
