4.44

Such words are inappropriate. As for requesting, it was a universal request; as for preaching, it was also a universal preaching. It is merely that those of superior faculties, possessing sharp wisdom, heard the dharma and attained awakening; those of middle faculties, situated in the middle, heard the parables and attained awakening; and those of lower faculties, residing below, heard the three [past affinities] and attained awakening. You should follow the meaning; why do you cling to the literal words? (and so on).
