Meaning
The commentary: after the prakaraṇa that mostly describes the conduct of those who seek freedom, I describe this one, on creation (utpatti). The order matters. The earlier book prepared the seeker; this one turns to what he is to know: how the world arises, so that its arising may be seen through.
