[Treatise:] Fourth, the great vow... because it is ultimate quiescence.
[Exposition:] This reveals the precepts of embracing sentient beings. 'The great vow,' and so forth, provides the name: because the great aspiration is universally comprehensive, it is called the 'great vow'; because the aspiring mind is without distinction, it is called 'impartial'; because the vowed practice accords with suchness, it is called 'skillful means.' The phrase 'that is to say' onward next reveals its characteristics, within which three kinds of vow characteristics are shown. 'Making vows,' and so forth, is the long-term vow. 'Transforming and crossing over,' and so forth, is the vast vow. 'All converging,' and so forth, is the supreme vow. Below, explaining the reasons reveals the name 'skillful means.' 'According with,' and so forth, is the reason for the long-term; 'dharmatā,' and so forth, is the basis of vastness; 'not conceptualizing,' and so forth, is the meaning of supreme; or it is the fourth, non-inverted vow.
