Fourth, mundane and supramundane: there are four meanings: Or all are mundane, because they are manifested within time, and because they are one among the three realms. Or all are supramundane, because their practices and virtues are not subsumed under the mundane. Or they are both mundane and supramundane, due to possessing the previous two meanings; furthermore, discussing according to characteristics, the initial [figures such as] Samantabhadra and others are supramundane, while the rest are mundane. Or they are neither mundane nor supramundane, because as mundane and supramundane, they are subsumed under the supramundane. Therefore, this assembly encompasses these three positions and is endowed with these four propositions.
