18.30

Below the Commentary's statement, "Only our Buddha is capable of it," the third part concludes and attributes this to the Buddha, possessing the full meaning of the four characters "attained supreme right awakening". Below "meaning in accordance with quantity and in accordance with principle," it explains the meaning of "awakening" in contrast to the objective realm awakened to above: awakening to the conventional in accordance with quantity, and awakening to the ultimate in accordance with principle; the middle way of the three truths is also subsumed under "in accordance with principle"; it also means combining the above two cognitions to awaken to the middle way. "Clearly and completely" differentiates it from the bodhisattva. Therefore the Nirvāṇa Sūtra says: "Bodhisattvas of the ten abodes see unclearly; only the Buddha, the World-Honoured One, is named seeing clearly." Thus King Ajātaśatru said: "Seeing the Buddha-nature clearly, just like Mañjuśrī and others."
