### [6.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1719.6.46)

釋所施中，文又為三：先出所依三藏，次出舊解，三「今取」下正釋。初雖依三藏，但辯物相未明法門。次舊解中，初師云大乘因果，理何不可？但闕施化之相，故不用之。次師既云出《阿含經》，不應用小而釋於大，縱云大乘何異四階？有言裓者，行袂袂袖也。今不用之。豈以救火袖盛子耶？

> In explaining what is given, the text also has three: first, bringing out the Tripiṭaka on which it relies; next, bringing out old explanations; third, from "we now take" downward is the correct explanation. Although the first relies on the Tripiṭaka, it only distinguishes the marks of the physical object without clarifying the Dharma-gate. Next, in the old explanations, the first master says: cause and fruit of the Mahāyāna—in principle, why could it not be so? But it lacks the marks of conferring teaching, so it is not used. The next master, having said it comes from the \*Āgama Sūtra\*, should not use the Small to explain the Great; even if he calls it Mahāyāna, how is it different from the four stages? Some say that \*ge\* \[lapel\] means a walking sleeve, a flowing sleeve. We do not use this now. Could one use sleeves to carry children while rescuing them from a fire?
