Daosheng notes: "If one takes the real as real, then it becomes stealing. Taking the unreal as real, one only afterward knows it to be wrong. One should interrogate and seek its real meaning; this is asking to be shown." Sengliang notes: "The bodhisattva having departed, the complete teaching was also concealed. The Hīnayāna used selflessness as its transformation; this one-sided teaching lost the middle, compared to slander. Violating the transformation and incurring guilt is compared to being seized. Having to undergo a judgment is compared to arriving at the king's place. 'You may show it to me': the first fruition has already severed [afflictions], and the self with discernible characteristics is what they understand; now he reproaches and demands the sovereign characteristics of form and color."
