[Treatise:] What are the three? […] the characteristics of setting out toward the path. [Exposition:] This lists the names according to the number. "Revealing the correct meaning": what is revealed by the established Mahāyāna Dharma and meaning is not erroneous, hence it is called "correct meaning." Because it is distinguished and clarified through the teaching, it is called "revealing." Once the correct principle has been set forth, emotional delusions arise; hence, second, there is "countering wrong attachments." Erroneous clinging based on the two views is called "wrong attachment." Causing them to be eliminated through teaching is called "countering." Once wrong attachments have been eliminated, one proceeds toward the correct in accordance with the stages; hence, third, there are "the characteristics of setting out toward the path." The vacuous penetration of original awakening is designated as the "path." Generating practice directed toward it is called "setting out." Its manner is called "characteristics." To proclaim and demonstrate them through teaching is called "distinguishing."
