In the second section, the gate of the arising of internal consciousness refers to: conditioned by the eye and form, eye-consciousness arises, and so forth. The ripening of external crops refers to: seed conditioning sprout, sprout conditioning stalk, and so forth. The death and birth of the world of sentient beings refers to: conditioned by ignorance, formations are produced, and so forth. The formation and disintegration of the receptacle world refers to: conditioned by the sovereign power of the collective karma of all sentient beings, the great earth and the rest arise. Sustenance by food refers to: conditioned by the four foods, sentient beings of the three realms abide in continuity. The sovereign power of one's own performed karma, obtaining agreeable or disagreeable fruit according to karma, refers to: conditioned by good or bad actions, one is born in good or bad destinies. Might refers to: conditioned by internal realization, one manifests supernormal powers and other supreme virtues. Purity refers to: conditioned by wholesome roots conducive to liberation, sequentially up to attaining the fruit of arhatship, and so forth. However, the sequence of these eight gates differs slightly from the second fascicle of the *Pratītyasamutpāda-sūtra* and the *Abhidharmasamuccaya-śāstra*, because here dependent origination is broadly explained as conditions. Now in demonstrating how many of these gates subsume the twelve links, it will be further shown in the tenth fascicle below.
