第二「爾時使者疾走往捉」，此是領用大乘教擬宜，此則領上火宅中「當以衣裓机案從舍出之」句也。第二領勸無機有二者，「窮子驚愕」，此是第一明有小乘人天等機。上火宅譬明無機中本有二，第一言「此舍唯有一門而復狹小」，明大教於其無用。今不領此，唯領正明無機，本有二：初明有小，次明無大。今此一句領有小機，即是「諸子幼稚」句，大乘教擬非意所期，故言驚愕也。「稱怨大喚」以下，第二領無大機，即是上「未有所識」句，我若有大乘機往犯汝大乘教，可得大乘教來見捉，我既無大，何為見捉？是故稱怨大喚也。

> Second, "Then the messenger ran swiftly to go and seize him": this is the correspondence to tentative adaptation using the Great Vehicle teaching; this corresponds to the line in the burning house above, "I should use a robe-lap, a desk or a table to take them out of the house." Of the two regarding the second, the correspondence to the lack of capacity for exhortation: "The poor son was alarmed and bewildered"—this is the first, explaining that there is the capacity for the small vehicle, human and celestial, and so forth. Above, in the burning house parable, regarding the explanation of the lack of capacity, there were originally two: first, stating "This house has only one gate, which moreover is narrow and small," explaining that the great teaching was of no use to them. Now, it does not correspond to this, but only directly corresponds to the lack of capacity, which originally had two: first explaining that there was the small, and next explaining that there was no great. Now this single line corresponds to having the small capacity, which is the line "The sons were childish and immature." The tentative adaptation with the Great Vehicle teaching was not what was expected; hence it says "alarmed and bewildered." From "crying out in grievance and shouting aloud" downwards is the second, corresponding to the lack of capacity for the Great \[Vehicle\], which is the line above, "They were not yet aware of anything." If I had the Great Vehicle capacity and went transgressing against your Great Vehicle teaching, you might have the Great Vehicle teaching come to seize me; since I lack the great, why am I seized? Therefore he cried out in grievance and shouted aloud.
