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.
