Or else, it is a translation error: the translations of the Wei, Liang, Sui, and Tang are different translations of the same text, but other texts lack this altogether, so it is an error in the transmission of the brush. When the Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra states that "a bodhisattva fallen from the peak falls into the stage of the śrāvaka and pratyekabuddha," it is either that when learning contemplation, the grasped object resembles the peak, so it is termed "fallen from the peak"; or that originally one was of the two vehicles, and while at the peak stage turned one's mind toward the Mahāyāna, and was also termed a bodhisattva, hence called a "bodhisattva fallen from the peak." That such beings regress and fall into the stage of the two vehicles does not contradict reason. However, regarding the Benye jing and the Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā, those texts should be further examined.
