[Treatise:] Because of having such ... seeing the original dharmakāya.
[Exposition:] Second below, taking up the cause to reveal the fruit. Here also are two parts: first, revealing the essence of function; second, clarifying the characteristics of function. This is the first. 'Because of having such wisdom of great skillful means' takes up the previous cause that reveals the fruit. 'Eradicating avidyā and seeing the original dharmakāya' adduces the fruit revealed by the cause. 'Great skillful means': the great compassionate practice and vows given rise to previously; their essence being correct is called 'skill' (upāya), and aiding the path is called 'means' (upāya-kauśalya). Wisdom refers to the wisdom that self and other share the same reality. Because of having such great compassion and wisdom, avidyā is eradicated, the dharmakāya as fruit is fully realized and definitively manifested; therefore, it is called 'seeing the original dharmakāya.'
