Second, from "furthermore" onward, it explains that the dharmakāya within the stage of defilement and purity is itself bodhi. There are also three phrases: First, "this very dharmakāya" reiterates and identifies the dharma-essence, meaning that it is this very dharmakāya in the previous stage of sentient beings and not any other dharma; hence it says "this very." Second, from "renouncing" onward, it directly explains the meaning of being itself bodhi. Therein are three: 1. severing obstructions; 2. fulfilling practices; 3. concluding the purpose. In the former, first, "renouncing" and so forth is giving rise to the practice of revulsion prior to the bhūmis; "abandoning" and so forth clarifies fulfilling the practice of severance on the bhūmis. Second, "regarding the ten pāramitās" and so forth, in explaining the fulfillment of practices, first gives rise to specific practices, meaning cultivating one pāramitā practice in each of the ten bhūmis; second, universal practices, meaning the universal practices such as the eighty thousand, in order to counteract the eighty-four thousand afflictions; also, the ten pāramitā gates and so forth mutually subsume and contain the eighty thousand and so forth. Third, "for the sake of bodhi" and so forth concludes the purpose of the practices.
