 Tsongkhapa in this early work is still comfortable with characterizing the ultimate as an absence of elaboration (Tib. spros bral, Sk. niṣprapañca) beyond the four extremes, later set forth as the orthodox view of the Sakya sect. Tsongkhapa's rejection of this characterization in his later work occasions a strong rejection of his view by writers like Gorampa (Go rab 'byams pa bsod nams sge ge) (1429-1489) (Cabezon and Dargyay 2006).
