The six sutras of "Vana" and the six sutras of "Gandamala" etc., totaling twelve sutras, have a different nature in terms of their causality and non-causality compared to the other 42 sutras. This difference has been explained in its respective place. The essence of this difference is:
1. In the 42 sutras, performing an action without a cause is considered worthy of atonement.
2. In the 12 sutras, the goal is not to endure as much as possible, but to seek immediate treatment, which is considered worthy of atonement.
This group of 54 sutras is a single Alapaka or Gamaka, whose purpose is also mentioned in the other Uddesakas 4, 6, 7, 11, 15, and 17. The original text and the interpretation of the meaning of this Uddesaka are mentioned everywhere. Therefore, it should be understood again from this concise table.
