Guṇarāja objects first. What is the intention of the objection? He explains that since one possesses buddha-nature, one naturally attains buddhahood, so what need is there for praising? In the text, the opening words, "As the Buddha said, 'a bodhisattva praises the nature to cause beings to bring forth the aspiration'—this meaning is not so," repeat \[the thesis\] to directly negate it; the section from "why" downward extensively explains and reveals the negation, first querying the intention of the negation, and below debating against it.
