Fourth, inclusion within the piṭakas. The Vibhāṣā below states: Although it generally clarifies the objects and so forth of all vehicles, nevertheless the speaker of the treatise, in questioning, answering, and determining the natures and characteristics of all dharmas, intends them for bodhisattvas, so that they may attain upāya-kauśalya in everything, cultivate and accomplish the Buddha fruit, and benefit inexhaustibly. Therefore, this treatise belongs to the Abhidharma of the Bodhisattva-piṭaka, because of wishing to cause bodhisattvas to obtain supreme wisdom. Therefore, although this treatise clarifies the two piṭakas of Bodhisattva and Śrāvaka, it is subsumed only under the Bodhisattva-piṭaka; although it also fully explains precepts, concentration, wisdom, and so forth, among the three piṭakas, it is subsumed only under the Abhidharma-piṭaka. According to this, its inclusion under the six piṭakas can be known.
