"Unequal Contemplation" means predominantly contemplating the differentiated dharmas of conventional truth. "Equal and Unequal" means thoroughly contemplating both truths. These are differentiated in terms of wisdom. "King of Sovereignty in Samādhi" has its designation established based on samādhi; these previous ones are in terms of practice. "Dharma Sovereignty" and "Dharma Characteristic" are differentiated in terms of dharma. "And so forth" refers to such bodhisattvas. "Thirty-two thousand" is the fifth [item], the general conclusion.
