5.176

但由謂與菩薩同入,而對三教以辯己失,疑佛有偏所以成過。以由不知小法性外別有妙理菩薩得之故也。故三藏中聲聞至佛無別法性,佛印迦葉當教論同,即此義也。通教三人俱坐解脫,《中論》實相三乘共得,是則三乘通教法性,亦與三藏法性不殊。諸聲聞人雖在力等密成通人,未合彰言云小入大,故今所論且在三藏。

It was merely because he thought he entered together with the bodhisattvas; and contrasting this with the three teachings to distinguish his own fault, he suspected that the Buddha was partial, which was why it became a fault. This was because he did not know that outside the lesser dharma-nature, there is another wondrous principle that bodhisattvas attain. Therefore, in the Tripiṭaka, from the śrāvaka up to the Buddha, there is no distinct dharma-nature; the Buddha confirming Mahākāśyapa was discussing sameness within that teaching, which is precisely this meaning. In the Shared Teaching, the three persons together sit in vimokṣa; in the Mūlamadhyamakakārikā, the true character is attained in common by the three vehicles; thus the dharma-nature of the Shared Teaching of the three vehicles is also no different from the dharma-nature of the Tripiṭaka. Although the various śrāvakas, through powers and so forth, esoterically became Shared persons, it was not yet appropriate to state openly that the small enters the great; therefore, what is discussed at present lies for the moment in the Tripiṭaka.
