Now both body and mind are purer than before.
There is spotless realization of prajña and upaya.
Through the higher perceptions, compassion does benefit.

We will be free from drowsiness and discursiveness,
Established in the state of samadhi day and night.
Such people will quickly see the path of the noble ones.

By spotless realization, there is the special sign of body and mind being completely trained. By resting day and night in the samadhi of special union, we become inseparable from it. By compassion, activity to benefit beings, sadness and extraordinary renunciation for samsara arise. Even in dreams, all dharmas are seen as dreams, illusions, and so forth. There will be no worms within the body and no lice and other parasites on its surface. We will attain the signs of the path of preparation and quickly come in contact with the path of seeing. The former text says:

Because of increase, it is not difficult
To fully attain the path of the noble ones.
