'You and sentient beings' matches the zither and so on above. 'The precious, awakening, true mind' matches the wondrous sounds above. 'Pressing my finger' refers to the simile pointing to the doctrine, which is the wisdom of non-arising matching the unconditioned principle, where the great function appears before one; this corresponds to what was said earlier: 'With non-extinction and non-arising I accord with the tathāgatagarbha, and the tathāgatagarbha is solely wondrous awakening and brightness, completely illuminating the dharmadhātu... and within it, one is immeasurable,' and so forth. 'As soon as you raise a thought,' and so forth, matches having no wondrous fingers above; this corresponds to what was said earlier: 'With form and emptiness you contend and usurp within the tathāgatagarbha, and the tathāgatagarbha accordingly becomes form and emptiness,' and so forth. Regarding the 'ocean-seal', the Mahāsaṃnipāta Sūtra states: 'Whatever forms and images there are in Jambudvīpa, the great ocean has seal-impressions of them all; this is a simile for the Buddha Tathāgata's ocean of Dharmakāya nature universally displaying the light of all wondrous functions.'
