[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].
