5.54

Question: If from the outset one studies the two vehicles—as the *Vibhāṣā* and *Explanatory Treatise* (*Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa*) say: 'For pratyekabuddhas, the slowest takes a hundred kalpas, and the fastest takes four lifetimes; for śrāvakas, the slowest takes sixty kalpas, and the fastest takes three lifetimes'—since the lesser vehicle hinders the great, those who practiced the lesser for a long time should be of dull capacity, those who practiced the lesser for a short time should be of sharp capacity, and between the two should be middling capacity.
