Furthermore, clarifying the three differences in terms of all dharmas converging upon neither having outflows nor being without outflows: The first person, hearing that all dharmas converge upon neither having outflows nor being without outflows, considers that all dharmas do not depart from emptiness, and that traveling everywhere throughout the realms of the ten directions is still just suchness at the place of the bottle. The next person, hearing 'converging', knows that this principle of the middle requires all practices to converge upon and manifest it. Yet another person, hearing that all converge, [knows that] this being neither with outflows nor without outflows is endowed with all dharmas. Therefore it is said that this single conventional changes according to three reals: either paired with a singular real, or paired with a twofold real, or paired with the inconceivable real. Their immeasurable aspects adapt flexibly to spiritual capacities, appearing and disappearing to benefit beings, and every single one possesses the three meanings of according with sentiment, according with sentiment-and-wisdom, and according with wisdom. If verified according to wisdom, the conventional changes according to wisdom: if wisdom verifies the biased real, it forms the shared two truths; if wisdom verifies the non-empty real, it forms the distinctive entering the shared two truths; if wisdom verifies all converging upon the non-empty real, it forms the perfect entering the shared two truths. As the three persons differ in entering wisdom, their return to illuminate the conventional also differs (and so on). Why? The reason three persons hear the same two truths yet derive different understandings is that this unshared prajñā is taught in common with the two vehicles, resulting in the disparity of shallow and profound. The Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā says: 'There are bodhisattvas who, upon initial resolve, correspond with sarvajñatā; there are bodhisattvas who, upon initial resolve, sport with spiritual penetrations and purify buddha-lands; there are bodhisattvas who, upon initial resolve, immediately sit at the site of awakening and act like buddhas.' This is precisely the meaning.
