Sengliang comments: Possessing the five matters above, one must attain the four dhyānas. The vajrasamādhi is supreme among samādhis, and its virtues are described. It has two capacities: first, destroying existence; second, accomplishing the six pāramitās. 'There is nothing it does not shatter' serves as a simile for destroying existence above. 'All come and belong to it' is to serve as a simile for accomplishing the myriad practices: first it describes where the dharmas belong, and the six below are its similes. 'Without obstruction' describes the six superknowledges to expand upon the capacity of the vajra: first it summarizes all superknowledges, and later specifically explains three superknowledges only. Sengzong says: The seventh section explains the name 'vajra.'
