It is: 1. to guard against worldly generation of ridicule and blame; 2. to illuminate and display the bodhisattva's supramundane path; 3. to regulate and sever all subtle defilements of passion; 4. to subdue the three karmas and restrain the three poisons; 5. to expediently and distantly guard the ten major precepts; 6. to increase and develop the bodhisattva's three clusters of precepts.
