13.17

前文為成漸教之初，不分菩薩與二乘之別，故前文明二乘初心，但云俗正真傍，後既約教分之，故開三藏以為二段，以理而言，二處菩薩俱是俗正真傍，二處二乘俱是真正俗傍，以菩薩乘同於二乘初心故也。彼此通詮是故不異；若約別教等者，初心即是信住二位，中心即是行向二位，後心即指初地已上。

Because the previous text was establishing the beginning of the gradual teaching, it did not differentiate between bodhisattvas and the two vehicles; therefore, the previous text, in explaining the initial mind of the two vehicles, merely said that the conventional is primary and the ultimate is secondary. Later, since it divides them according to teaching, it opens the Tripiṭaka into two stages. In terms of principle, in both places the bodhisattvas have the conventional as primary and the ultimate as secondary, while in both places the two vehicles have the ultimate as primary and the conventional as secondary, because the bodhisattva vehicle is identical to the initial mind of the two vehicles. Since both universally signify [these], they do not differ. If we discuss this in terms of the Separate Teaching and so on, the initial mind refers to the two stages of faith and abidings; the middle mind refers to the two stages of practices and transferences; the later mind points to the first bhūmi and above.
