The Commentary explains: "Restating the above..." and so forth: it is feared that upon hearing the previous words "awakening to the mind's initial arising," people will suppose that the true mind really possesses an arising mark, and that only now awakening to this is called "awakening to the initial mark." Now, wishing to explain and unpack this, it therefore restates it. "Not meaning..." and so forth: because at the time of delusion it is said to exist, but at the locus of enlightenment it is fundamentally absent; it is only the One Mind, so how could there be an initial mark? This also follows the analogy of the preceding stages, where in all cases there is no known mark, and only then does it constitute knowing difference, abiding, and so on. "The question asks: Since..." continues from the preceding to raise an objection. "Therefore to..." points to the Śāstra to answer. "As in awakening..." explains the intention by means of a metaphor. "Awakening to the mind..." combines and reveals the Śāstra text.
