Regarding the first, Jing states: It means that when all bodhisattvas abide in the gotra, they are naturally humane and virtuous. "Maturing up to numerous wholesome dharmas" means maturing the seeds. "Also manifesting in their active manifestations" refers to the stage of transmigration prior to the ten faiths. Through the power of the gotra, that practitioner is caused to frequently give rise to wholesome [roots] conducive to merit, not wholesome [roots] conducive to liberation. If they give rise to wholesome [roots] conducive to liberation, then it is the ten faiths; the ten faiths are subsumed under the abiding of resolute conduct, not the abiding of gotra. Therefore, in the text below explaining the remaining stages of practice, it says that from the initial generation of the aspiration [for awakening] up to not yet having attained pure intention, all manifold practices are entirely the abiding of resolute conduct; thus we know without doubt that the manifold wholesome deeds arising in the abiding of gotra are all conducive to merit.
