2.68

The mark of pure wisdom is the mental states associated with the four wisdoms. "Perfuming in accord with the Dharma" is explained in full below as deluded perfuming and true perfuming, essence perfuming and function perfuming. "Practicing as it truly is" means cultivating all practices in accordance with the dharmatā. "Fulfilling merit" means surpassing the ultimate bodhisattva stage. "Shattering the compound consciousness" means abandoning the name of vipāka and transforming into the mental states associated with the great round mirror wisdom, no longer serving as the object of perfuming. "Extinguishing the marks of the evolving consciousnesses" means transforming the seventh consciousness into the mental states associated with the wisdom of equality, transforming the sixth consciousness into the mental states associated with the wondrous observing wisdom, and transforming the first five consciousnesses into the mental states associated with the all-accomplishing wisdom; without increase or decrease, they no longer serve as perfuming agents. "Manifesting the pure wisdom of the dharmakāya": the realized tathatā is the dharmakāya, and the bodhi that realizes it is the pure wisdom; wisdom and tathatā are completely equal, without subject or object.
