What is meant by "this dharma"? It is the dharma of one's own mind abiding without discrimination. Because it is supreme and not an obscure or inferior dharma, it can bring about the noble wisdom of internal realization. "Taking superior, wondrous births among all realms of existence" means that if one can realize this supreme dharma, one will certainly take the highest class of rebirth within all realms of existence and not descend to inferior states. "Destroying the cataract of ignorance and extinguishing the waves of consciousness": ignorance can blind the eye of wisdom, and the waves of karmic consciousness can agitate the source of the mind; this Mahāyāna practice can shatter and extinguish them. "The two meanings of consciousness and nature": because non-Buddhists cling to the view of self, in their divergent treatises they are unable to explain the dharma and non-dharma meanings of the nature of consciousness that is detached from views. "As you previously saw the Buddha and contemplated thus": this tells the yakṣa king that his previous sight of the Buddha and his ability to contemplate this meaning according to reality was truly the view of seeing the Buddha.
