3.47

From "First, by means of" below, it explains. The first passage explains individually, the meaning of which corresponds to the sequential and the non-sequential. The subsequent passage treats mutual inclusion, which is solely non-sequential, its meaning corresponding to opening and revealing. In the first individual explanation, as for "principle" mentioned first: principle does not go beyond two, which are simply the provisional and the real; that it opens into four is in terms of the teachings that express it. Now, it is in terms of that which is expressed, and therefore there are only two; even if one follows the characteristics of the teachings, it does not go beyond two.
