言行獨大乘者,讚第二德。依《本記》云「出二乘」也。大乘有二:一、十信至十解,是不定,猶退為二乘;二、十行至十地,是定,故言行獨大乘。今解:不爾。四諦緣起大小共行,六波羅蜜唯菩薩行,故言行獨大乘。或可生空大小共觀,法空唯大不通小乘,故言行獨大乘。或可般若有二:一大小共行;二唯菩薩行,故言行獨大乘。

Regarding the words "practicing solely the Great Vehicle": this praises the second virtue. According to the Original Commentary, it means "surpassing the two vehicles." The Great Vehicle has two [aspects]: first, from the ten faiths to the ten understandings, which are unfixed, as one may still regress to the two vehicles; second, from the ten practices to the ten bhūmis, which are fixed; therefore it says "practicing solely the Great Vehicle." Now, the [correct] explanation is: this is not so. The four truths and conditioned origination are practiced in common by both the Great and Small [Vehicles], whereas the six pāramitās are practiced solely by bodhisattvas; therefore it says "practicing solely the Great Vehicle." Alternatively, the emptiness of the person is contemplated in common by both the Great and Small [Vehicles], whereas the emptiness of phenomena pertains solely to the Great [Vehicle] and does not extend to the Small Vehicle; therefore it says "practicing solely the Great Vehicle." Alternatively, prajñā has two [aspects]: one practiced in common by both the Great and Small [Vehicles]; the other practiced solely by bodhisattvas; therefore it says "practicing solely the Great Vehicle."
