In the conclusion, there are five occurrences of the word "because." "Because of the cause" concludes the previous Dharma and non-Dharma, being the cause of future fruit. "Because of the simile" concludes the previous simile of the mantra that subdues poison. "Because of being indeterminate" concludes whether it applies everywhere or not. The remaining two can be understood. As for "If an action is what oneself does not desire": when one does not desire or delight in it, and merely causes another to do it, it is called non-Dharma. When a bodhisattva renounces his wife and children, he first instructs and explains to them, and only afterward renounces them; he does not act like the mantra of renunciation of the benevolent king, which is performative yet not genuine, intentionally causing harm to others, its essence being unwholesome. If bodily or verbal karma is intrinsically indeterminate, yet initiated by an unwholesome thought, it is called non-Dharma; or speaking of all intrinsically indeterminate karma, because it does not accord with reason, it is called non-Dharma.
