"As it is said: 'One should contemplate ten kinds of benefits,' this is its essential nature": this explains the substance; the ten kinds of benefits will be explained below. The statement "because this Dharma can be beneficial and worthy of praise, it is therefore called benefit" explains the gloss on the words. "Furthermore, this" up to "is called benefit" clarifies that the training in morality perfumes consciousness into seeds, which accompany [one] wherever one is born, hence it is called benefit. "Furthermore, this Dharma is accompanied by praise, hence it is called benefit": if one can merely hold the precepts, one's mind receives praise. These three occurrences of "furthermore" generally explain and generally praise it. "The differentiation of divisions" up to "and so forth in detail": that is the differentiation of thematic aspects in ten lines, which is intelligible.
