2.351

Commentary: This clarifies the fruit. The fruit is divided into two kinds: conditioned and unconditioned. The unconditioned is fundamental, therefore it is specifically spoken of. There are four unconditioned fruits, which are the four nirvāṇas. The naturally pure is not attained through severing and realizing, therefore it is not spoken of. Or it is subsumed under the ultimate truth. Nirvāṇa with remainder and without remainder are common to the three vehicles and are not the most supreme, hence they are also briefly omitted. Only non-abiding nirvāṇa is uniquely attained by the Mahāyāna; because its benefit to beings is supreme, it is specifically spoken of among the fruits. The meaning is as analyzed previously.
