2.189
"Coming to the present" means the substance of the dharma does not move but transitions toward the present. "Arising here" means it perishes in the future and only then arises in the present. "Serving as condition to produce the present" means the dharma abides in the future and serves as cause and condition to produce the present dharma. "Now having activity" means it has no function in the future, but its function arises in the present. "Now having complete characteristics" means its original characteristics were incomplete and only reach completion upon arriving at the present. "Now having different characteristics" means although the original substance is identical, the conjoined characteristics are different. "Having a present share" means in the future there is a future share as well as present and past shares; by implication, the present also has a present share as well as future and past shares, and likewise for the past. Here it only mentions shares of two times, and the rest may be known by analogy.
