3.73

Second, it is only six in order to encompass the six matters of both benefits. First, in order to encompass the three matters of benefiting others, one is caused to give rise to correct effort in the first three pāramitās: first, giving to them; second, not harming them; third, enduring harm from them. Next, in order to encompass the three matters of self-benefit, there are the last three: first, having a cause, based on vīrya; second, the mind's dwelling, because the mind is unfixed; third, liberation, because when the mind is settled, it is caused to be liberated.
