यत् सम्यग्दर्शनं वोधिस्तत्प्रधानो महोदयः । सत्त्वोऽस्तु बोधिसत्त्वरतद्धन्तपोऽन्वर्थतोऽपि हि ॥ २७३॥
yat samyagdarsanam bodhiḥ tat pradhāno mahodayaḥ | sattvo'stu bodhisattvas tad dhantaiṣo'nvart hato'pi hi /1273||

samsiddhikam idem jñeyam samyak citram ca dehinam | tatha kaladibhedena bijasiddhyādibhācataḥ ||275||
The course pursued by a soul in its journey towards mokṣa is natural to this soul and is appropriately variegated (i.e. different at different occasions); for a soul comes to acquire different auspicious states-like 'an inception of the attachment for religion'- on different times etc.
सर्वथा योग्यताभेदे तदभावोऽन्यथा भवेत् । निमित्तानामपि प्राप्तिस्तुल्या यत्तन्नियोगतः ॥२७६॥
