第二、彰所因者，按釋論等云：佛涅槃後，魔事紛起，部執競興，多著有見。龍猛菩薩，證極喜地，採集大乘，無相空教，造中論等，究暢真要，除彼有見，聖提婆等諸大論師造百論等弘闡大義，由是眾生復著空見。

Second, as for clarifying its provenance, according to the Commentary and other sources, it is said: After the Buddha entered nirvāṇa, māratic occurrences arose in profusion, sectarian attachments rivaled one another, and many clung to views of existence. Bodhisattva Nāgārjuna, having realized the Pramuditā-bhūmi, collected the Mahāyāna teaching of signlessness and emptiness and composed the Mūlamadhyamakakārikā and others, thoroughly articulating the genuine essential meaning and removing those views of existence. Great treatise masters such as Āryadeva composed the Śatakaśāstra and others, broadly propagating the great meaning. Because of this, sentient beings once again clung to views of emptiness.
