(Tai says:) This is stated based on persons without gotra and those with the determinate nature of the two vehicles. (Ji says:) For now there are three explanations: treating it hypothetically is the first explanation. Determinate two-vehicle gotra is also named lacking the Mahāyāna gotra, and although they might generate the bodhicitta according to conditions, they are still incapable, so it is said that 'even though generating the aspiration...', which is the second explanation. Persons innately without gotra, even if they actually generate the aspiration, will ultimately regress and cannot attain that unexcelled awakening; this is the third explanation.
