Now, by indicating that the two vehicles do not know it, the bodhisattvas of both places are also incapable of fathoming it. "Those who have resolved their minds do not know it" refers to the ten faiths of the distinctive teaching; "the non-retrogressing are unable to know it" refers to the thirty minds of the distinctive teaching. The ten abodes are non-retrogression of stage. The ten practices are non-retrogression of practice. The ten dedications of merit are non-retrogression of mindfulness. None of these three non-retrogressions can know it. The non-retrogressing within the tripiṭaka [teaching] are still inferior to the two vehicles; the non-retrogressing within the shared teaching merely equal the two vehicles; if the two vehicles do not know it, why mention the bodhisattvas again? Now, indicating those who have resolved their minds and are non-retrogressing targets the persons of the distinctive teaching.
