答:且如通教不名共教者,蓋有菩薩遠邊之義也。今亦例然,所立別教不名不共教者,蓋有二乘近邊之義也。但以方等、《般若》中別教二乘共聞,為近邊義耳。蓋《大論》約菩薩與二乘不共聞,立不共般若。今別教既有共聞,則非不共聞,故約此義說於近邊矣。

Answer: Consider that just as the shared teaching is not named the 'common teaching' because it contains the sense of the bodhisattva's distant edge, so too here: the separate teaching established is not named the 'unshared teaching' because it contains the sense of the two vehicles' near edge. It is simply because, within the Vaipulya and Prajñā, the two vehicles hear the separate teaching together that it possesses the sense of the near edge. The Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa establishes 'unshared Prajñā' with reference to the fact that bodhisattvas and the two vehicles do not hear it together. Now, since the separate teaching involves hearing it together, it is not not hearing it together; therefore, with reference to this sense, we speak of the near edge.
