Furthermore, the doctrinal gates of the previous two kinds of the factors of the path explain the cause, whereby one can cultivate the karma of the marks; discussing the fruit, one can have the essence of the marks. However, these marks are only slightly superior to those of a wheel-turning king, and Māra can manifest them, so they are not extraordinary; when entering nirvāṇa without remainder, the marks are extinguished forever. This is like obtaining bronze, which cannot clearly reflect the face.
