Now, having expressed its greatness in terms of the exaltedness of the support and so forth, to provide a conclusion to the section on the third bodhisattva ground:

On Luminous, where bodhisattvas stay like suns,
The murkiness within themselves has been dispelled.
They now intend to shed all beings of their gloom.

The Luminous¹ ground is the sun-like state of the sugata heirs, where the unknowing present in their own being, which constituted an obstacle to the arising of this state, has been dispelled. Acting as examples, they now wish to destroy the gloom that blocks the arising of the third ground for others as well. For these bodhisattvas,

But though intense upon this ground, no anger stirs. (3.13)

Although they are as intense² as the sun when it comes to defeating the gloom of faults that destroy one’s qualities, they never become angry with individuals filled with defects, the reasons being their excellent cultivation of tolerance and a mind saturated with compassion.
