3.24

Answer: If attaining a small part were to justify saying that Prajñā is a teaching shared by the three vehicles, then the Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra states, 'Just as when a person obtains food it is also called nirvāṇa'; when the two vehicles sever the afflictions of the three realms, do they not attain a small part of nirvāṇa? Therefore, one should not use the statement about a small part to prove a teaching shared by the three vehicles. Furthermore, the Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā-prajñāpāramitā states: 'This sūtra is spoken for those of the Great Vehicle, spoken for those of the Supreme Vehicle.' Hence we know that Prajñā is not a teaching shared by the three vehicles.
