7.537

According to the root text of the Mahāyānasaṃgraha: 'The World-Honoured One, regarding all these six pāramitās, in some places speaks of them with the term giving, etc.' The explanation says: In the sūtras there are places where the single word 'giving' subsumes all six pāramitās, and the terms 'morality' and so forth are also likewise. Asabhāva's explanation says: Within all practice of preparatory application, each [pāramitā] mutually assists all others. That is to say, when cultivating giving, restraint, patience, exertion, one-pointedness of mind, and the skillful knowledge of the correlation between action and result are present; thus within giving the others operate. When cultivating morality, distancing stinginess, anger, indolence, distraction, and wrong views are present; thus within morality the others operate. Cultivating the remainder is also explained in the same way.
