"...Pötrül says repeatedly that both the ''Madhyamakāvatāra'' and the ''Uttaratantra'' are scriptures of “the Great Prāsaṅgika Mahāyāna,” though he clearly rejects the Gelugpa understanding of this being the case because, he says, the Gelugpa position is solely based on a nonimplicative negation (the lack of real existence), while completely rejecting the notion of luminosity."

*"In his ''Uttaratantra'' commentary, Gyeltsap shows the strong influence of Tsongkhapa's ''Illuminating the Thoughts of the Madhyamaka''. He criticizes those who propose that the ''Uttaratantra'' is a Cittamātra text, arguing that it explicates the ultimate truth presented in the Prāsaṅgika-Madhyamaka." [[Wangchuk, Tsering]], ''[[The Uttaratantra in the Land of Snows]]'', p. 98.
*"In arguing that the emptiness expounded in the ''Prajñāpāramitāsūtras'' and the tathāgata-essence explicated in the ''Uttaratantra'' are the same, Gyeltsap accords the status to the ''Uttaratantra'' equal to that of Nāgārjuna's ''Mūlamadhyamakakārikā'', Candrakīrti's ''Madhyamakāvatāra'', and other Madhyamaka treatises which present the ultimate view of Prāsaṅgika-Madhyamaka." [[Wangchuk, Tsering]], ''[[The Uttaratantra in the Land of Snows]]'', p. 100.

* "A number of later Tibetan works, and several modern scholars as well, define his position as Svātantrika-Madhyamaka... We cannot yet be sure whether rNgog himself was conscious of this divide, even if later Tibetan traditions often presuppose rNgog's knowledge of it. Śākya-mchog-ldan, for instance, in assigning rNgog to a third position of Madhyamaka neither Svātantrika nor Prāsaṅgika, presumes that rNgog knew of both schools." [[Kano, K.]], ''[[Buddha-Nature and Emptiness]]'', p. 228.
* "rNgog lo is known to have actively taught and commented on the “Three Svātantrika Treatises of Eastern India” (''rang rgyud shar gsum''), namely the ''Satyadvayavibhaṅga'' of Jñānagarbha, the ''Madhyamakālaṃkāra'' of Śāntarakṣita, and the ''Madhyamakāloka'' of Kamalaśīla, which formed the textual foundation of the Svātantrika Yogācāra-Madhyamaka synthesis, among whose proponents rNgog lo may be counted. [[Kramer, R.]], ''[[The Great Tibetan Translator]]'', p.10.
* "rNgog's strategy here is to appeal to the destinction between the Two Truths..." [[Kano, K.]], ''[[Buddha-Nature and Emptiness]]'', p. 271.

Wangchuk cites Tsongkhapa's students and commentators on this issue:
*He quotes mkhas grub rje as stating, "In our system, Jé Rinpoché (rje rin po che that is, Tsongkhapa) mentions that... The content of the Uttaratantra is in conformity with Prāsaṅgika-Madhyamaka." [[Wangchuk, Tsering]], ''[[The Uttaratantra in the Land of Snows]]'', p. 89.
*And later on,, "Similarly, Chöwang Drakpé Pel states, "The All-knowing Jétsün (rje btsun, that is, Tsongkhapa) repeatedly made the roar of a lion amongst an assembly of scholars proclaiming that the ultimate view of the ''Abhisamayālamkāra'' and the ''Uttaratantra'' falls within the system of Prāsaṅgika-Madhyamaka." [[Wangchuk, Tsering]], ''[[The Uttaratantra in the Land of Snows]]'', p. 89. +
