Sūtra: "...cultivating all wholesome... [anuttarasamyak]saṃbodhi." / Commentary: Next, revealing that the path to bodhi has nothing to be attained as its cause has two parts: first, clarifying its import; second, distinguishing and examining it. This is the first. All wholesome dharmas—the six perfections and the myriad practices—are clarifying causes (jñāpaka-hetu) in relation to the dharmakāya, and productive causes (kāraka-hetu) in relation to the reward body; hence the treatise speaks of them as the 'path to bodhi.' That is, it clarifies that only by causing one to cultivate all wholesome dharmas does one attain bodhi, unlike the two vehicles who cultivate wholesome dharmas to a small degree. This corresponds to the preceding verse's 'There is an unsurpassable expedient.' In other bodhi, wholesome dharmas are not fulfilled, for there is still a superior expedient.
