2.68

"Accomplished all unprecedented dharmas": this is the third [part], singly concluding the real knowledge of Śākya[muni], which directly concludes the phrase above that the knowledge and vision of the Tathāgata is vast, great, profound, and far-reaching. In scrutinizing the mutual comparisons between the two knowledges of the Buddhas and those of Śākya[muni], there are in all four kinds of differences: What are they? In the Buddhas above, he praises both knowledges together, while in Śākya[muni] he praises the two knowledges individually: this is the first difference. In the Buddhas above, he first praises real knowledge and later praises expedient knowledge, while in Śākya[muni] he first praises expedient knowledge and later praises real knowledge: this is the second difference. In the Buddhas above, he cites past causes to explain the two knowledges, while in Śākya[muni] he cites the various merits of the fruitional stage to explain the two knowledges: this is the third difference. In the Buddhas above, he jointly concludes the two knowledges, while in Śākya[muni] he singly concludes real knowledge: this is the fourth difference.
