Furthermore, the Mahāyāna is the essence of the expressive teaching, while the gateway-treatise is the function. Upon this essence of the teaching, there is the meaning-gateway of awakening and entering into the subtle principle, which has the function of resolving essence and characteristics, instructing disciples, severing evil, and producing good; hence it is named a treatise. Subordinating the essence to the function and subsuming the function into the essence, saying "the Mahāyāna that is the gateway-treatise," is a karmadhāraya compound. (This concludes the making of the ten explanations).
