Below is the second part, verses broadly clarifying [the matter]. There are seventy-nine verses in total, divided into four parts: first, twenty-three verses clarify the two practices of expounding and listening; next, from "The Brahmā king, lord Śakra" onward, forty-one verses clarify the heavenly gods' protection; next, from "Within this southern continent" onward, fourteen verses clarify the mighty power of the sūtra; finally, one verse concludes both expounding and listening. The first section is divided into two: the first twelve verses clarify the practice of listening to the Dharma; from "One should adorn an excellent high seat" onward, eleven verses clarify the practice of expounding. The first part is further divided into five: first, one verse indicates seeking merit and wisdom. Second, one verse exhorts going to the Dharma assembly. Third, three verses praise the merits of the sūtra, containing three: one verse praises producing good and eradicating evil; one verse praises the ten virtues of the Dharma, here briefly citing four—being good in the beginning, middle, and end, and its meaning being profound—to imply the remaining six: fifth, well-phrased; sixth, unmixed; seventh, complete; eighth, pure; ninth, spotless; tenth, possessing the marks of the brahmacarya, as extensively explained in the 'Vastusaṃgrahaṇī' chapter of the eighty-third fascicle of the Yogācārabhūmi; one verse clarifies by metaphor. Fourth, five verses exhort that one should listen to the Dharma, containing five: one verse exhorts listening. Regarding "the caitya of dharmatā": just as erecting a jeweled stūpa for the Lotus Sūtra does not require relics because it already contains the whole body, here it is also like this; because it can express and reveal [the Dharma], one immediately beholds the dharmakāya. One verse concerns beholding the saṃbhogakāya, because the exposition is similar. One verse concerns obtaining good retributions. One verse causes rejoicing. One verse causes resolute listening. Fifth, two verses concern the benefits of hearing the sūtra.
