The explanation is: When practice is fulfilled in this lifetime and one immediately realizes Buddhahood, this is called present retribution, because the preceding practices were merely remote causes; therefore the Buddha stage is not called subsequent retribution. The last rebirth of a bodhisattva is induced by karma from before the bhūmis, and hence is called subsequent retribution, because noble ones do not generate karma that incurs subsequent rebirths. The bodhisattva of the final existence is designated 'wisdom'; because wisdom is supreme, he is designated with the name 'wisdom'. It is precisely this bodhisattva abiding in that heaven that is called 'born in the abode of wisdom'. 'Abode' means dwelling peacefully. However, the teachings differ regarding the Palace of Maheśvara; as briefly distinguished in the Liaoyi deng, this will be further reconciled and explained in the two commentaries on the Yogācārabhūmi and the Abhidharmasamuccaya-bhāṣya.
