Definition in this text:

In the Dharmasaṃgraha, there are said to be four types or sources of reliance, namely reliance on the meaning, reliance on knowledge, reliance on the definitive meaning (or sūtras taken to contain definitive meaning), and reliance on the true nature of reality. This list is also found in the The Teaching of Vimalakīrti (Vimalakīrti­nirdeśa), UT22084-060-005-453.
