金剛般若經贊述 1.96

1.96

However, Asaṅga's intention differs from Vasubandhu's treatise: each of the eighteen distinctions answers all three previous questions. Thus [Asaṅga's] treatise states that when the sūtra says, 'A bodhisattva should produce such a mind,' it reveals the aspiration in how a bodhisattva should thus abide. When it says, 'If a bodhisattva has the perception of a sentient being occurring, they are not a bodhisattva,' it reveals the time of corresponding samāpatti in how they should thus practice. When it says, 'If a bodhisattva gives rise to the perception of a sentient being, the perception of a person, or the perception of a life-span, they are not called a bodhisattva,' it reveals the time of collecting distraction in how they should thus subdue their mind. Vasubandhu, by contrast, uses the first two of the eighteen distinctions combined to answer the three questions, unlike Asaṅga where each one answers all three questions. This should be known by examining the treatises.
