[The commentator śānti-pā explains the use of the title "tathāgata", namely that each of the four yogins has experienced the five manifest enlightenments (see verse 44, above, especially fifth abhisambodhi). He concludes this section by giving his own summary of praxis order : the praxis of cause and result, i. e. samadhi-wisdom, is first; the praxis of non-two, called secret, is second; the praxis of reality (no bo ñid), called supreme (mchog), is third. Since the very next chapter is called "Samā. dhi-wisdom,” this ordering suggests that this next chapter represents the praxis of meditating upon the stages (bhūmi) as cause and effect (päramitā as cause and bhūmi as effect; and ten bhūmi as cause and eleventh bhūmi as effect).]
