六中治，論　菩薩盡地者，即菩薩究竟地也。如前云：乃至菩薩究竟地。有本多云地盡，義亦有在，不如地字在下義順，以前後皆結云地故。此即第十地，如來即妙覺，斯則從九地觀斷，佛地方盡。無垢地即如來地，與十地終心竟無有異。然《本業經》中，自等覺為無垢地，此即別開；今此所明，等、妙二覺合為一位也。

In the antidote of the sixth [section], Treatise: "The bodhisattva's exhausting the bhūmis" means the bodhisattva's ultimate bhūmi. As it previously said: "up to the bodhisattva's ultimate bhūmi." Many editions read "bhūmis exhausted"; there is also sense in that, but it is not as smooth in meaning as having the word "bhūmi" at the bottom, because both before and after it concludes saying "bhūmi." This is precisely the tenth bhūmi, and the Tathāgata is wondrous enlightenment; thus, contemplation and severing proceed from the ninth bhūmi, and are exhausted only at the Buddha bhūmi. The Immaculate Bhūmi is precisely the Tathāgata bhūmi, having no difference at all from the final mind of the tenth bhūmi. However, in the *Benye jing*, equal enlightenment itself is the Immaculate Bhūmi, which is distinguished separately; what is explained here combines the two—equal and wondrous enlightenment—into a single stage.
