[Regarding] the text of the treatise, "that the mind itself", and so on: second, the explanation. The commentary has two parts: first, explaining in terms of [mind-]king and [mental] concomitants. The treatise has two parts: first, demonstrating the absence of difference. [Regarding] the commentary's "precisely this", and so on: "mind" is the true mind; due to movement, it becomes non-enlightenment. Non-enlightenment and enlightenment are of one essence without difference; hence it says "itself" [or "precisely"]. When there is not even a difference between enlightenment and non-enlightenment, how could there be [mind-]king and [mental] concomitants?
