二釋品來意者，為明前品明極果性智光明以利眾生，此品明普賢行能利物故。有理智無行，理智乃處俗不圓；有行無理智，其行無由出俗。故理智體徹方成不二自在之門，以此此品須來。

Second, in explaining the reason for the chapter's occurrence: to clarify that while the previous chapter clarified the light of the nature-wisdom of the ultimate fruit to benefit sentient beings, this chapter clarifies that Samantabhadra's practice can benefit living beings. If there is principle and wisdom without practice, principle and wisdom will reside in the conventional world without being complete; if there is practice without principle and wisdom, that practice will have no way to transcend the conventional world. Therefore, only when principle and wisdom thoroughly penetrate the essence is the non-dual and unimpeded gate accomplished; for this reason, this chapter must follow.
