妙法蓮華經玄義 9.178

9.178

This sūtra opens the provisional and reveals the real; the great function of its four siddhāntas is the most valiant and fierce (and so forth). Manifesting the traces and revealing the original source, its four siddhāntas are eternally distinct from all other sūtras. Why? The power and function within the traces has already surpassed all teachings; among the ten functions within the original source, other sūtras do not possess even one, how much less could they possess all ten! The siddhāntas within the traces have already surpassed other sūtras; among the siddhāntas within the original source, other sūtras have none, how much less could they possess all four! One can deduce this by contemplation, without need of extensive recording.
