又對法云：解脫究竟道，薩婆多約初時，謂初修習時以解脫為初故。對法言依解脫故造修，依解脫斷障故，成實論約後，謂究竟時要成勝處遍處故，解脫方滿，以解脫為果故，此言勝處為解脫能清淨道。對法亦云：若遍處成滿解脫即究竟，此中據究竟時語此，如是和會大當道理，檢文亦盡。

Furthermore, the Abhidharma[-samuccaya] says: 'Liberation is the consummate path.' The Sarvāstivādins speak in terms of the initial phase, meaning that when first cultivating, one takes liberation as the beginning. The Abhidharma[-samuccaya] says, 'Relying on liberation, one undertakes cultivation,' because one severs obstructions relying on liberation. The Tattvasiddhi-śāstra speaks in terms of the subsequent, meaning that at the time of consummation, one must accomplish the bases of mastery and totalities for liberation to be complete, taking liberation as the fruit; hence it says that the bases of mastery are the purifying path for liberation. The Abhidharma[-samuccaya] also says: 'When the totalities are completed, liberation is consummate.' Here it speaks based on the time of consummation. Reconciling them in this manner accords well with principle, and fully accounts for the texts.
