"...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." [[Brunnhölzl, K.]], ''[[When the Clouds Part]]'', p. 75. +

*"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.

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. +
