In the second answer, the first two lines show the offense's pervasiveness. Its original place is in the sixth [category], but preparatory stages pervade the upper five; hence it says "it spans the six clusters." They are equally termed duṣkṛta, yet the preceding categories are graver and the subsequent categories grow progressively lighter; hence it says "the name spans superior and inferior." The next two lines explain the differences in karma. The following two lines determine distinct confessions. According to this, although they are equally duṣkṛta, each is confessed according to its cluster; then mind and object will correspond, and grave and light will not be confounded. The preceding explanation was based on the text, hence it says "gathered together in the same category"; this explanation follows the principle, hence it says "pointing to the meaning is appropriate." "Appropriate" (yun) means fitting.
