Sengliang comments: Declaring him definitely unconditioned means preaching permanence to transform people, which is what is called protecting the Dharma above. 'Giving rise to wholesome dharmas' means transforming people through goodness so that people attain wholesome life. Therefore the Tathāgata achieves the retribution of long life, just as the eight rivers return to the sea. 'Giving rise to pity' means lovingly protecting the lives of sentient beings, which is the cause of long life.
