Fourth, by reference to the gate of superiority. That is, taking the Mahāyāna among the three to be the One Vehicle: when viewed in relation to the distinct teaching, although they differ as expedient and real, they are both that which is ridden by bodhisattvas. Therefore the sūtra says: "Only this one thing is real; the other two are not true," and it also says: "To provide rest, two were taught," and so forth. This text has two meanings: first, if viewed in relation to the distinct teaching above, "the other two" are the Mahāyāna and Hīnayāna, because although śrāvakas and [pratyekabuddhas] differ in sharp and dull faculties, they equally anticipate the lesser fruition, and thus opening the one sets it apart from the three. If viewed in relation to the common teaching, then the śrāvaka and [pratyekabuddha] constitute the two, and also because the Mahāyāna is fused into identity with the one.
