Because the meanings of the verse text in the first half differ, its lines are also distinct. Its first line is explained as the function of cause; the second line is explained as the function of condition. However, the four characters "from beginningless time" in the first line apply through to the function of support in the second line. The three characters "all phenomena" in the second line encompass the function of cause above, because they mutually elucidate each other. Therefore, each of the first two lines expresses one meaning.
