The Eulogy says: In answering regarding purity and defilement, the above first section answered regarding the purity and defilement of the place; the following section concludes with the causes and praises the supreme excellence of the place. Within this there are two: first, concluding with the cause; second, praising the excellence. This is the conclusion of the cause. Ten unwholesome actions obtain four fruits: first, maturation; second, congruent; third, predominant; fourth, virile. The ten wholesome courses of action can obtain five fruits, with the addition of the fruit of disconnection. Untainted [actions] obtain four, excluding the maturation fruit. Tainted [actions] have four, excluding the fruit of disconnection. Because the two kinds assist each other, five fruits are obtained. Below it explains that the internal body is precisely the maturation fruit. Furthermore, it says that at one time maturing fifty billion devaputras to attain the ground of non-retrogression is precisely the fruit of disconnection. Longevity and similar attributes are called congruent fruits. Such external fruits are of two kinds: first, predominant; second, virile. As the Yogācārabhūmi-śāstra, fascicles fifty-nine and sixty, and the Abhidharmasamuccaya-vyākhyā, fascicle eight, extensively explain all the aspects of the fruits of the ten unwholesome courses of action; their opposites are precisely the fruits of the ten wholesome courses. Here, the fruits of the ten wholesome courses are stated in general without distinct exposition. However, all wholesome dharmas are entirely subsumed by the ten wholesome [courses]; 'courses of action' is based on the grave, while 'ten wholesome' covers the light; hence this is based on generally subsuming everything completely, as should be understood according to the meaning.
