Regarding "there is another [meaning]": because the previous clarification of the skillful means of the eight aspects was not yet exhaustive, and he now wishes to explain broadly, he says "there is another meaning". "Various skillful means" introduces "various". From "manifesting" onward, it explains "various". There can be three sections of "various": first, manifesting the various faults of false teachings, such as the ninety-six varieties; second, manifesting the various merits of the Buddha's correct Dharma—briefly stated as the five vehicles, and broadly having eighty thousand treasuries of Dharma; third, the false constitutes one kind and the correct constitutes one kind, hence it says "various".
