Commentary: In this section there are two lines. When followers of the two vehicles have fully perfected the seven factors of awakening, because they possess conceptual differentiation, they subsequently seek the sphere of the distinct, subtle wisdom and subtle functions of the Buddha's teachings. When bodhisattvas have fully perfected the seven factors of awakening, because they are free of conceptual differentiation, they no longer seek the spheres of practice of the Buddha's distinct, subtle wisdom and subtle functions, since their fruit of wisdom is already complete. The older version says: "and conceptually differentiates the subtle wisdom of the Buddha," but that contradicts the text. [Our reading] differs from the two vehicles, and its principle is soundly established. When followers of the two vehicles have perfected the eightfold path, they loathe and turn away from deviant paths; when bodhisattvas have perfected the eightfold path, they do not loathe deviant paths, because they constantly teach and transform [others]. The older version says: "and delights in practicing the immeasurable path of the Buddha," seeking the perfection of the fruit. Followers of the two vehicles do not seek to become buddhas, and therefore do not delight in practicing [it].
