English	Moreover, nirvana is the single equality of liberation and primordial wisdom, and since the Shrāvakas and Pratyekabuddhas do not perfect the qualities of elimination and realization, their liberation is not complete. They have lesser defilements, as many as the sands of the Ganges, that arise from the “ground of the habitual tendency to ignorance” (ma rig bag chags kyi sa) and that veil the [ten] strengths and [four] fearlessnesses together with all the other qualities of buddhahood. The elimination of these is said to be the lion’s roar of omniscience. There is nothing beyond this one final vehicle, this one kind of liberation in the dharmakaya. Although final liberation arises from the realization of the sugatagarbha, the profound meaning of the noble truths, this is not the sphere of experience of the Shrāvakas and Pratyekabuddhas. Such an inconceivable truth of the cessation of suffering is not within the domain of the Shrāvakas and Pratyekabuddhas, who are compared in the teachings (gsungs) to blind men unable to see the sun. In a similar manner, in the autocommentary to the Madhyamakāvatāra when the single final vehicle is being established, the sutra is cited: “If you realize, O Kashyapa, the equality of all phenomena, this is nirvana, the state beyond suffering. And this is one; it is not two or three.” And in the Uttaratantra-shastra it is said:

Prajñā - One of the key terms for wisdom or knowledge, most often having the sense of insight, transcendent knowledge, or perhaps gnosis. In some contexts it can also refer to cognition or intellectual understanding. Skt प्रज्ञा  Tib ཤེས་རབ་  Ch 般若

Pratyekabuddha - Pratyekabuddhas are saints who, in their last birth in the cycle of existence, are said to become enlightened through solitary practice on the nature of dependent ordination. These saints are said to appear when there is no buddha around and work either alone or in small groups. Skt प्रत्येकबुद्ध  Tib རང་སངས་རྒྱས།;རང་རྒྱལ།  Ch 緣覺

Āvaraṇa - Literally, that which obscures or conceals. Often listed as a set of two obscurations (sgrib gnyis): the afflictive emotional obscurations (Skt. kleśāvaraṇa, Tib. nyon mongs pa'i sgrib pa) and the cognitive obscurations (Skt. jñeyāvaraṇa, Tib. shes bya'i sgrib pa). By removing the first, one becomes free of suffering, and by removing the second, one becomes omniscient. Skt आवरण  Tib སྒྲིབ་པ་

Avidyā - Literally "unknowing," it refers to a lack of knowledge or misunderstanding of the nature of reality. As such, it is considered to be the root cause of suffering and the basis for the arising of all other negative mental factors. Skt अविद्या  Tib མ་རིག་པ་  Ch 無明

Bodhisattva - A person who seeks enlightenment for the sake of others. In Mahāyāna Buddhism, a bodhisattva is a compassionate being who is training on the path to buddhahood and aspires to eliminate the suffering of all beings and take all sentient beings to the state of enlightenment. The Mahāyāna sūtras including those on buddha-nature generally have bodhisattvas as the main audience or interlocutors for the Buddha's discourses. Skt बोधिसत्त्व  Tib བྱང་ཆུབ་སེམས་དཔའ།  Ch 菩薩
