14. The Bodhisattva who starts upon the study of
the Doctrine of Prajna-paramita, (its realization) etc.
receives from the Buddhas and other (superior beings)
protection, shelter, and defence.
When all the elements (of the Bodhisattva's personality)
are thus contemplated within the pale of the Climax of
Wisdom, there arises the Resulting Cognition
of the Doctrine concerning the
Path.

15. Owing to the power acquired through the mastery
over the Doctrine of Prajna-paramita, the person
who is desirous of attaining Buddhahood gets a firm stand
in (the Path leading to) the Omniscience of the Buddha,
this being preceded by virtuous behaviour,
as refraining from taking
away life etc. Thereafter he has to
install others on the same Piath. When
all the elements 2 are contemplated in such an aspect, the
Perseverance in the Introspective Cognition concerning
the Path becomes originated.
