7.28

In the second major section, which explains the gāthās on intention, the text is divided into three parts: first, stating the requester; next, presenting the gāthās; and finally, following with specific explanations. Within the fifty-one verses, the text is divided into two parts: the first verse is the request by the Brahmā King; the latter fifty verses are the answer by the World-Honoured One. The request has two parts: the upper half is praise, and the lower half is the request. The request has three parts: first, asking about the substance of the trainings; second, asking about the teaching on the trainings; third, asking about the Dharma; these correspond in sequence to the request. In the verses, there are the texts on the trainings, that which is trained in, and engaging in training. Regarding the fifty verses of the answer, there are two explanations: if divided by textual passages, this fascicle explains twenty-two verses, making twenty-two sections, and the subsequent fascicle contains the explanation of twenty-eight verses, divided into nineteen sections, which will be matched in the subsequent fascicle. If the fifty verses are classified by meaning, they are divided into two parts: the first verse answers concerning the substance of the trainings and the enumeration of the trainings; the remaining verses answer concerning the training that should be practiced. Within the answer concerning the training that should be practiced, it is divided into thirteen sections: the first verse is the expedients of training; the second, having one verse, is the sequential arising of the trainings; the third, one verse, is the differentiated sequential purification of the trainings; the fourth, one verse, is the fruit obtained from the trainings; the fifth, one verse, is the gradual causes and conditions of the trainings, practicing them separately and combined; the sixth, having three verses, is that the wise sequentially make them causes for subsequent fruits; the seventh, the next three verses, explains the success and failure, common and uncommon aspects of training; the eighth, having one verse, explains correct and wrong training; the ninth, one verse, distinguishes the three trainings in severing hindrances and reaching perfection; the tenth, having one verse, explains the distinctions of reception; the eleventh, one verse, explains the obtainable pure and mixed states of training; the twelfth, having twenty-one verses, purely explains the purification of detachment in the training of morality; the thirteenth, having thirteen verses, purely explains the purification of detachment in the training of concentration.
