於此品中，廣明二諦真實境智名真實義品，何故自他利明真實品者，前因種姓故能發心，由發心故便能起行，行成轉證理故自他利後明，或行法相對以釋，前品就行明法，行不孤起必依理，故自他利後辨真實義，諸經品次第大文同此，如涅槃初明慈悲不殺等行後明四諦如來性等。

In this chapter, extensively explaining the real objects and wisdom of the two truths is why it is called the 'Chapter on the Meaning of Reality.' Why is the Chapter on Reality explained after self-benefit and other-benefit? Because previously, due to gotra, one is able to generate the aspiration; because of generating the aspiration, one can then initiate practice; and when practice is completed, one goes on to realize the principle. Therefore, it is explained after self-benefit and other-benefit. Alternatively, it may be explained in terms of the pairing of practice and dharma: the preceding chapter explained dharmas with respect to practice, and practice does not arise in isolation but must rely on the principle; therefore, the meaning of reality is analyzed after self-benefit and other-benefit. The chapter sequences of the various sūtras are largely identical in broad outline to this: for instance, the Nirvāṇa [Sūtra] first explains practices such as loving-kindness, compassion, and non-killing, and later explains the four truths, the Tathāgata-nature, and so on.
