贊曰：此第三段，一頌半頌第六遮。「無二」者，無第二獨覺乘。「無三」者，無第三聲聞乘。從勝向劣佛乘為初，此據真理無二極乘，除方便說，方便說中可有三故，以假三名引導生故。用假羊鹿之名引生出於火宅，非有實二以度眾生。此說二乘涅槃菩提俱無實體，並稱假名，然涅槃可證而縛除，種智不成以無覺，故化城入之以息苦，羊鹿有名而不登。

> The Eulogy says: This is the third section: one and a half verses versifying the sixth topic, refutation. 'There is no second' means there is no second pratyekabuddha vehicle. 'There is no third' means there is no third śrāvaka vehicle. Proceeding from superior to inferior, the Buddha Vehicle is the first; according to true reality, there are no two ultimate vehicles, except in the expedient teachings. Within the expedient teachings there may be three, because provisional three designations are used to guide sentient beings. Using the provisional names of the goat and deer carts to guide sentient beings out of the burning house does not mean there are actual two \[vehicles\] to cross sentient beings over. This states that both the nirvāṇa and bodhi of the two vehicles lack real substance and are jointly called provisional names. However, while nirvāṇa can be realized and the bond removed, omniscience (sarvākārajñatā) is not accomplished because there is no awakening; thus, they enter the conjured city to rest from suffering, but the goat and deer carts exist only in name and are not boarded.
