2.45

From "the meaning of dāna" downward clarifies that the meaning of dāna subsumes [all]. When it says "subsumes three," the character "three" is feared to be an error; it should read "subsumes six." A verse in the Vajrachedikā-śāstra states: "The meaning of dāna subsumes the six: / Material sustenance, fearlessness, and the Dharma; / Herein are one, two, and three; / This is named the abiding of cultivation and practice." Asanga says: "Without vigor, one cannot preach the Dharma because of fatigue. Without dhyāna, one preaches the Dharma with a defiled mind coveting faith, respect, and gain. Without wisdom, one preaches the Dharma erroneously." From "therefore in terms of" downward relates the intention. Because dāna subsumes the six, it is now explained solely in terms of dāna.
