24.6

Madhyāntika and Śāṇakavāsa both received the transmission from Ānanda, so [Madhyāntika] was not the primary transmission, and thus is not listed here. Since this land honors Nāgārjuna as the prime ancestor, it regards those from the fourteenth patriarch downward as collateral branches. The fourteenth patriarch of the Western Land likewise regarded those from our Northern Qi onward as collateral branches. Each treats its own line of transmission; they are not mutually disputing right and wrong. As for Northern Qi, he awakened to the threefold contemplation in one mind of the *Treatise [on Great Wisdom]*, transmitted it to Nanyue, and distantly succeeded Nāgārjuna, being ranked as the second patriarch.
