3.149

"Regarding such three kinds of persons free from afflictions": second is the separate discussion of the meaning of vyākaraṇa; it also re-explains the first [equality], the equality of vehicles, among the three equalities. Moreover, the two vehicles attaining buddhahood is the main purport of the Lotus [Sūtra], as the Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa states: "The Lotus Sūtra is a secret teaching, because it clarifies that arhats attain buddhahood." As for the text, there are five [parts]: first, clarifying the reason for conferring vyākaraṇa; second, clarifying the difference between śrāvakas and bodhisattvas receiving vyākaraṇa; third, clarifying the diversity of receiving vyākaraṇa; fourth, clarifying which śrāvakas obtain vyākaraṇa and which do not; fifth, re-examining the triyāna and the ekayāna. Within the first text, there are again two: first, narrating the illness; second, clarifying the remedial medicine. Within the first, there are again four: first, generally clarifying that the three kinds of persons possess minds tainted by conceit.
