論。謂以一念至利益眾生　述曰。此顯德滿也。文中二義。初顯自利德。謂以一念相應惠者。是無間道。以一剎那無明盡故。名一切種智。是解脫道。解脫道中種智圓故。自然已下顯利他德。既成果德顯種智體。由此便能不待功用思議而起利益事故。

> \[Treatise:\] That is to say, with wisdom concordant in a single moment ... benefiting sentient beings. \[Commentary:\] This reveals the fulfillment of virtues. In the text there are two senses: first, revealing the virtue of self-benefit. "Wisdom concordant in a single moment" refers to the uninterrupted path; because in a single kṣaṇa avidyā is exhausted, it is called "all-seed cognition" (sarvākārajñatā), which is the path of liberation, for within the path of liberation all-seed cognition is perfected. From "spontaneously" onward reveals the virtue of benefiting others: having accomplished the fruition virtue, the essence of all-seed cognition is revealed, and by this they are able, without awaiting effort or conceptual deliberation, to carry out deeds that benefit \[beings\].
