6.504

述曰:所謂「末底」是慧異名,與般若無別體。於慧上加「毘」字助之,毘是種種義,即種種慧也。《大論》言「異慧疑」,異者是種種義,故知疑體即慧。以末底、般若俱慧異名,以毘助之,豈別有體。此是大乘異師,非是別部。

The Commentary states: So-called 'mati' is an alternative name for prajñā; its nature is not distinct from prajñā. Adding the syllable 'vi' to prajñā aids it; 'vi' has the meaning of 'various', meaning 'various prajñā'. The Great Treatise says 'atypical prajñā is doubt'; 'atypical' means 'various', so one knows the nature of doubt is prajñā. Since mati and prajñā are both alternative names for discernment, when aided by 'vi', how could it have a separate entity? This is another master within the Mahāyāna, not a different school.
