In the Mahāyāna, the six perfections and so forth are taken as skillful means for entering the path. "Because through the four means of embracing they embrace oneself and other bodies, benefiting them with the dharmas that serve as antidotes" distinguishes it from the Hinayāna. The Hinayāna explains the arising of skillful means solely for one's own body so that one attains liberation; the Mahāyāna uses the four means of embracing to embrace both self and others, causing all to abide in the principle. "The dharmas that serve as antidotes" are precisely the skillful means and are also abiding in the principle.
