This compassion is the root of every higher spiritual quality; this is true
because both listeners and self-made Buddhas are born from the Lords of
the Able Ones; and the Lords of the Able Ones are born from bodhisattvas;
and bodhisattvas in turn are born from three different causes; and two of
these causes, at last, are born from love: from great compassion.

And this is true because the autocommentary says:
I wanted to show, at the very beginning, that there was one thing that was worthy of being praised even by the
perfectly enlightened Buddhas, and the bodhisattvas. And this one thing is the Lady of Conquest; great
compassion; the first and most excellent cause of the Buddhas themselves; that one thing which protects, forever,
every single one of the infinite number of living beings chained within this prison of the cycle of life. And this
then is why I wrote those two verses that include the words, “Listeners and the mid-level Buddhas are born from
those Lords of the Able. . .”$

You may ask, “If it’s true that listeners and self-made Buddhas take their
holy birth from the Lords of the Able Ones, then just how is it that they take
this birth?”
