3.282

The phrase "Because [...] the tathāgatagarbha..." clarifies the wondrous existence of pure virtues. The phrase "Because [...] defiled phenomena of affliction exceeding the sands of the Ganges..." clarifies the non-existence in principle of illusory defilement. From "since beginningless [time]" onward, it clarifies that illusion does not enter into truth. The phrase "If the essence of the tathāgatagarbha possessed illusory phenomena..." clarifies the hypothetical refutation, which is understandable.
