The Tathāgata in reality surpasses śrāvakas and bodhisattvas, yet is able to equate himself with śrāvakas and bodhisattvas; hence it says "skillful means". These skillful means are both distinct from the preceding skillful means, yet taking his equating himself with śrāvakas and bodhisattvas as skillful means. "Reached the other shore" corroborates the first, transcending the sphere of the two persons.
