Second, clarifying that which is subsumed: among the three collections, this sūtra is primarily subsumed only under the sūtra collection, while secondarily expounding the other two, because chapters such as the "Ten Collections" extensively reveal morality, and chapters such as "Inquiries of the Clarified" reveal discursive treatises. If one distinguishes the teaching by means of the meaning within sūtras, it is subsumed exclusively by the "Ten Collections" [of sūtras], because fully possessing host and retinue reveals the inexhaustible, and because teaching and meaning are fused. Between the two collections, it is exclusively the bodhisattva collection. If one differentiates provisional and real, it is subsumed under only one portion of the bodhisattva collection, because the provisional does not subsume it. If viewed according to this subsumption, even the śrāvaka is subsumed by this sūtra, because this [sūtra] can contain immeasurable vehicles. Discerning the provisional and real will be explained below under the establishment of teachings. Subsumption by the collections has been analyzed.
