English	Now recently, when the author of a certain commentary on the Bodhicaryāvatāra comments on this passage,152Ketaka Jewel, p. 85. he explains it as meaning that “the ultimate nature of things, being free from all ontological extremes—existence, nonexistence, both, and[p.262]The Wisdom Chapter Fletcher, Wulstan, and Helena Blankleder (Padmakara Translation Group), trans. The Wisdom Chapter: Jamgön Mipham's Commentary on the Ninth Chapter of "The Way of the Bodhisattva." Boulder, CO: Shambhala Publications, 2017. neither—is not the object of the mind. For mind and language belong to the relative. They are not ultimate.” His way of commenting, whereby line 3 is taken to be a proposition and line 4 an evidential sign,153In other words, considering that lines 3 and 4 of the stanza constitute a probative argument. is incorrect. For it does not automatically follow that if something154In this case the mind (blo). is a relative truth, it is unable to assess the absolute. If this were so [if the mind on the relative level were unable to assess the absolute], it would follow that the ultimate truth would have no existence whatever, for it would not be the object of the mind’s assessment. And if our opponent [Mipham] asserted this, it would follow that the two truths are not two different aspects of a single reality [ngo bo gcig la ldog pa tha dad], for one of them (the ultimate) would not be established. But this he cannot accept, for it is said in the Bodhicittavivāraṇa:

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
