Now, the primary title above presents person and Dharma together to mark its designation. This alternate title is also like this, differing only in extent. The Sanskrit sound nirvāṇa is called "extinction and crossing over" in Qin speech; its meaning is translated as "perfect quiescence". Examining the Yogācāra (Weishi) texts, there are four kinds: first, prakṛti-viśuddha-nirvāṇa; second, sopadhiśeṣa-nirvāṇa; third, nirupadhiśeṣa-nirvāṇa; fourth, apratiṣṭhita-nirvāṇa. If one preliminarily divides the text and picks out the words to state the meaning, it also possesses two kinds: when the Buddha speaks admonitions and the Way pervades and virtue is bestowed, that is sopadhiśeṣa[-nirvāṇa]; while approaching nirvāṇa, with the body reduced to ashes and wisdom extinguished, that is nirupadhiśeṣa[-nirvāṇa].
