第二、從本起末作用次第，如涅槃說：第一、依法不依人者，法是真如理體；第二、依義不依語者，義是佛果，所謂般若解脫法身，依理成德故次辯之；第三、依智不依識，智是佛智即是用，聞依德起用故次辨之；第四、依了義經不依不了者，依智起說故後辨之。

Second, the sequence of functioning proceeding from root to branch, as the Mahāparinirvāṇa Sūtra says: First, 'relying on the Dharma and not relying on the person'—the Dharma is the essential principle of tathatā. Second, 'relying on the meaning and not relying on the words'—the meaning is the fruition of Buddhahood, namely, prajñā, liberation, and the Dharmakāya; because virtues are accomplished based on principle, it is explained next. Third, 'relying on gnosis and not relying on consciousness'—gnosis is the Buddha's gnosis, which is function; since function arises based on virtue, it is explained next. Fourth, 'relying on definitive sūtras and not relying on non-definitive ones'—since teaching arises based on gnosis, it is explained last.
