Answer: The intention of the sūtra is to reveal the excellence of wondrous awakening, so it divides them into two truths; the intention of the treatise is to clarify the commonality with the Mahāyāna, so it combines them into a single count. The preceding seven truths are common to both the Great and Small \[Vehicles\]; therefore, this sūtra now speaks on the basis of eight truths. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.122](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.2.122) - [Next: 2.124](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.2.124) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708~en-mt.2.123) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.2.123](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.2.123) · Pramāṇa
