Oh! Attachment is moderate. Greed is great. Because that itself makes the self firm, especially entering into greed. The meaning of 'mixed' is householders and renunciants. Completely mixed is the renunciant himself. The meaning of 'Bodhisattva Chandala' is because one should not associate with him. The meaning of 'Bodhisattva Reproacher' is because he reproaches them with his own faults. The meaning of 'Bodhisattva Image' is because of the similarity of form. Pretending to be a Bodhisattva is like a black person among many devotees. A thief is one who steals the Dharma with the guise of a renunciant. A thief among Bodhisattvas is not to be desired. In the world including the gods, a thief is an evil place of giving. For those with such a nature, etc., it is said in detail that such ones are not to be approached by the noble ones. Power is strength. Non-noble is sin. Disgust is fear. For the time being, even for them, meaning if even such people are to be protected, what need is there to mention all sentient beings. These, such as loving-kindness, etc., explain the differences in the objects of the four, such as loving-kindness. Like this, etc., is a prayer. This also, meaning everything from 'also' onwards.

The Difficult Explanation of the Holy Eight Thousand Verse Perfection of Wisdom, the Essence of the Heart, composed by the teacher Shantideva Ratnakara, the twenty-first chapter is completed.

How one is its, likewise, six together are also its, therefore all this was said. How is it known? From the other shore.
