畢竟無涅槃法者，無因故彼無般涅槃性，此謂但求生死不樂涅槃人，如此等文皆同此論說無種姓，何獨謗新翻耶？但楞伽說：闡提有二：一者、斷善；二者、菩薩。斷善闡提值善知識，即得成佛，菩薩闡提畢竟不取無上菩提。西方解云：欲顯菩薩畢竟不入大涅槃果，希前相故，且舉斷善闡提影略，而不說無涅槃。

Regarding those who ultimately lack the dharma of nirvāṇa: because they lack the cause, they do not have the nature of parinirvāṇa; this refers to persons who merely seek saṃsāra and do not delight in nirvāṇa. Passages such as these all agree with this treatise in speaking of the gotra-less; why slander only the newly translated texts? However, the Laṅkāvatāra states: There are two kinds of icchantika: first, those who sever wholesome [roots]; second, bodhisattvas. When the icchantika who severs wholesome [roots] meets a good friend, he attains buddhahood; the bodhisattva-icchantika ultimately does not take supreme bodhi. Western masters explain: Wishing to reveal that the bodhisattva ultimately does not enter the fruit of great nirvāṇa, out of hoping for the previous mark, it temporarily adduces the icchantika who severs goodness as a suggestive omission, without speaking of lacking nirvāṇa.
