6.58

Ninth: Below, in matching the bestowing of the carriages, it says: "Seeing all sentient beings escape the suffering of the three realms and attain the bliss of nirvāṇa, he therefore bestows upon them the Mahāyāna." If so, it is because people of the two vehicles have attained nirvāṇa that they are given the Mahāyāna. How could a bodhisattva have already realized [such a] nirvāṇa? Since it is bestowed only upon the two vehicles, one should know that only people of the two vehicles demand it. By using this single passage, the matter of correctness can be settled.
