Wangchuk quotes mkhas grub rje as stating, "In our system, Jé Rinpoché (rje rin po che) [that is, Tsongkhapa] mentions that [the Uttaratantra] primarily comments on the meaning of those sutras that are in conformity with the middle-wheel teachings [such as] the Tathägatagarbhasütra, Samädhiräjasütra, Jnänälokasütra, Angulimâlâsütra, Srimâlâdevïsûtra, and so forth." Wangchuk, Tsering, The Uttaratantra in the Land of Snows, p. 89.

Note that Wangchuk maintains that he developed this certainty later in his career.
- He quotes his Golden Rosary of Excellent Exposition as stating that the Mind-Only presentation of buddha-nature as, "the viewpoint explicated in the Uttaratantra." Wangchuk, Tsering, The Uttaratantra in the Land of Snows, p. 90.
- Though he later quotes his presumably final stance as: "In his Illuminating the Thoughts of the Madhyamaka, Tsongkhapa clearly states, "The great master Asanga also did not explain the Uttaratantra according to the Cittamätra School, rather he explicated it according to the Madhyamaka School." Wangchuk, Tsering, The Uttaratantra in the Land of Snows, p. 93.

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 Präsangika-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 Abhisamayälamkära and the Uttaratantra falls within the system of Präsangika-Madhyamaka." Wangchuk, Tsering, The Uttaratantra in the Land of Snows, p. 89.
