To attain higher realizations and final enlightenment, the bodhisattva should rely on the meaning (of the teaching) and not on the expression (arthapratisāraṇena bhavitavyaṃ na vyañjanapratisāraṇena); on the teaching and not on the person (who teaches it) (dharmapratisāraṇena bhavitavyaṃ na pudgalapratisāraṇena); on gnosis and not on normal consciousness (jñānapratisāraṇena bhavitavyaṃ na vijñānapratisāraṇena); and on discourses of definitive meaning and not on discourses of interpretable meaning (nītārthasūtrapratisāraṇena bhavitavyaṃ na neyārthasūtrapratisāraṇena) according to the order in this sūtra. The usual order, "teaching-reliance," "meaning-reliance," definitive-meaning-discourse-reliance," and "gnosis-reliance," seems to conform better to stages of practice.
