2.27

On the passage in the sūtra from "transcending the mundane" to "the path of crossing over the world": The commentary states: Fourth, this reiterates what is accomplished. It has two parts: first, accomplishing one's own virtues. "Transcending the mundane" expresses the accomplishment of the virtue of eradication, because one transcends the two kinds of death. This is just as the Abhidharmasamuccaya says: "'Transcending the mundane' generally shows the meaning of liberation from afflictions." "Abiding in the path of crossing over the world" indicates the accomplishment of the virtue of wisdom, combining the two kinds of wisdom. This is just as the Vijñaptimātratāsiddhi says: "Because they turn spontaneously within the swift current of dharmas." "Truth" means security; "crossing over" means transcending—they are alternative names for the supramundane path.
