This explains that at that time the Tathāgata, knowing that the King of Laṅkā wished to ask questions, told him to ask quickly, wishing to explain and fulfill his vow. "Skillfully knowing the stages" means knowing the first stage up to the Immovable, Good Wisdom, Cloud of Dharma, and the Buddha stage. "Cultivating antidotes and realizing the true meaning" means making exerted efforts in the various stages, remedying the obstacles to be removed, and not straying into deviant paths. "In the palace of the great jewel lotus, his crown is consecrated with the water of samādhi" means that his practice is identical to the Buddha's, making him a son of the Dharmarāja who enters the stage of consecration. The Buddha further instructed him to give rise to a single uniform practice and immeasurable distinctive practices, whereby he would certainly attain the realm described above. "Only you, King of Laṅkā, through personal realization, can attain this; it is not something that the two vehicles, non-Buddhists, Brahmā, or Indra can see."
