The subsequent eight marks are also movement and activity, and are also the karmic function of ignorance. However, establishing their names in terms of distinct meanings, only this initial beginning of the arising of function is called 'karma'. 'Inversely presenting,' etc.: as without sleep there are no dreams. 'Actualized enlightenment' is the time of ultimate [enlightenment].
