Second, 'the realm of sentient beings is precisely the dharmakāya,' etc., clarifies the approach of confirming the entire substance. In this there are also four clauses: 1. Gathering the ring by means of gold, the ring leaves nothing behind; sentient beings are precisely the dharmakāya. 2. Gathering the gold by means of the ring, the gold is completely exhausted; the dharmakāya is precisely sentient beings. 3. The gold into which the gathered ring returns is precisely the ring that has returned; because the non-dual is made dual, the dharmakāya is precisely sentient beings and sentient beings are precisely the dharmakāya, both coexisting yet mutually identical. 4. The gold gathered by the ring is precisely that which is gathered by the gold; following duality yet non-dual, sentient beings are precisely the dharmakāya and the dharmakāya is precisely sentient beings, both obliterated and completely real, without even any 'identical.'
