"Thus, awakened, exhorted, and guided by the Buddhas, bringing forth immeasurable, wonderful wisdom of emanation-bodies" is the sixth clause. The Daśabhūmika Sūtra says: "Vajragarbha addressed Mokṣacandra, saying: 'O Son of the Buddha, if the Buddhas did not bestow upon this bodhisattva the entry that turns on wisdom, this bodhisattva would immediately enter nirvāṇa and abandon benefiting all sentient beings. Because the Buddhas bestow upon this bodhisattva immeasurable and limitless entries that turn on wisdom, the wisdom, karma, and vows he gives rise to in a single thought-moment cannot be equaled by one-hundredth of all that he has generated from his initial resolve up to the end of the seventh stage, and so on, even up to being beyond the reach of calculation or analogy. Why is this? O Son of the Buddha, previously he gave rise to practice and wisdom with a single body; now, in this bodhisattva stage, because he attains the distinctions of immeasurable bodhisattva bodies, and because he amasses the power of immeasurable practices, and so forth,'" up to extensive explanation. Ji says: "'Bringing forth immeasurable emanation-bodies' means bringing forth and causing the birth of the fivefold Dharma-body."
