「無二乘者」,第三釋經。問:云無二無三,今云何但釋無二乘?答:經以緣覺為二、聲聞為三,此之二三竝是二乘,故今釋二乘即解無二無三也。依此論文,乘正是果,以小乘涅槃果、大乘涅槃果為大小二乘。文有四句者,一明無小乘涅槃。

"There are not two vehicles" is the third part, explaining the sūtra. Question: [The sūtra] says "there are not two, nor are there three"; why does it now only explain that "there are not two vehicles"? Answer: The sūtra takes the pratyekabuddha as the second and the śrāvaka as the third; these "two" and "three" together constitute the two vehicles, so now explaining the two vehicles thereby resolves "there are not two, nor are there three." Relying on this treatise text, the "vehicle" is precisely the fruit; taking the Hinayāna nirvāṇa-fruit and the Mahāyāna nirvāṇa-fruit, they constitute the small and great two vehicles. The text has four clauses: the first clarifies that there is no Hinayāna nirvāṇa.
