The Great Treatise also explains ten kinds of precepts: the four kinds of unbroken, unlacking, unpunctured, and unmixed are the prohibitive precepts, pure precepts, good precepts, and unlacking precepts within the fundamental branch of the Great Sūtra. What the Treatise calls the precept conforming to the path is the unanalyzed precept within the branch of protecting and maintaining right mindfulness in the Great Sūtra. What the Treatise calls the unattached precept is the non-retrogressing precept within the dedication branch of the Great Sūtra. What the Treatise calls the precept praised by the wise is the Mahāyāna precept of the Great Sūtra. What the Treatise calls the sovereign precept is the sovereign precept of the Great Sūtra. What the Treatise calls the precept conforming to concentration is the conforming precept of the Great Sūtra. What the Treatise calls the complete precept is the pāramitā precept of the Great Sūtra. The Great Sūtra explains 'ultimate' while the Treatise says 'conforming to concentration'; this is largely identical with minor differences, and there is no loss of meaning.
