The Commentary states: "The cause of manifesting dharmas": because next it says "manifesting the spheres of experience." "The cause of internal permeation": because next it says "permeating sentient beings."

Because manifesting dharmas and permeation are both called "cause," yet manifesting dharmas is not the meaning of permeation. "Possessing its own essence": to distinguish it from delusion having no essence of its own. "And virtues": to distinguish it from the afflictions as numerous as the sands of the Ganges. Delusion not only lacks virtues, but also lacks its own essence; the true not only possesses its own essence, but also possesses virtues. As the earlier text says: "Because it possesses its own essence, fully equipped with immeasurable virtues of its nature." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 10.44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.10.44) - [Next: 10.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.10.46) - [Up: 10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.10) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848~en-mt.10.45) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.10.45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.10.45) · Pramāṇa
