Sengliang comments: Giving is the seed of the dharmakāya; the timely provision of goods is the seed of giving. Regarding "scant or abundant": above, the items were already discussed, but the mental disposition had not yet been clarified. Next, it is stated that there are eight kinds of giving, as explained in the treatise text. Here it clarifies that the minds of the Buddha and the Saṅgha are definitively pure, and they are mostly people who uphold the precepts; it is merely that the quantity of items is not fixed.
