2.85

The commentary says: Inwardly adorning the aggregate of liberation, one outwardly evokes the great deity named Prāmodya. Leaving behind the grief and suffering of erroneous understanding, one attains the joyful delight of superior resolve. Since the mind is resolute, cultivation can be perfected, and hence he rains down cintāmaṇi jewels. With the mind constantly resolute and abiding in tathatā, one outwardly evokes the divine jewels resting atop banners and pennants. They expound the three refuges, and also speak of the five precepts and various wholesome dharmas. 'Benefiting' means the sense of advantageous joy; 'exhorting' means the sense of praising and encouraging; 'assisting' means the sense of aiding and saving from suffering. 'Sound' refers to vocal sounds; 'those of' refers to practitioners. The overall meaning shows that the divine jewels expound the three refuges and five precepts, bringing benefit, joy, and encouragement to practitioners who utter the sound of seeking great bodhi.
