The preceding nine bhūmis analyze the objects of the three vehicles, while the following six bhūmis analyze the practices of the three vehicles. The first three are common practices, because all three vehicles are able to cultivate the three kinds of prajñā; the subsequent three are distinct practices, because in accordance with capacity and following the Dharma they accomplish their respective vehicles. / Furthermore, the first three are practices of skillful means, while the subsequent three are fundamental practices. / Furthermore, the first three are practices to be studied, while the subsequent three are practices to be accomplished. "Hearing" refers to hearing-arisen prajñā, because hearing takes the teachings as its ālambana. Because it is the cause, all dharmas accomplished thereby are called "accomplished through hearing." That is, that prajñā and its associated dharmas, together with the objects of hearing—whether words or meanings—along with the attained results, constitute the essence of this bhūmi. In the prior discussion of manaskāra, where it states that hearing takes only the Dharma as its ālambana, it is because it rarely takes meaning as its ālambana. / The text of this bhūmi is divided into three parts: first, summarizing the preceding and introducing the following, thereby stating the topic of the treatise; second, querying and enumerating the names of the five sciences; third, explaining them individually.
