3.24

答:若得少分便說《波若》是三乘通教者,《大經》云「如人得食亦名涅槃」,二乘斷三界惑,豈不得涅槃少分耶?故不應以少分之言證三乘通教。又《小波若》云「此經為大乘者說、為最上乘者說。」故知《波若不》通教三乘。

Answer: If attaining a small part were to justify saying that Prajñā is a teaching shared by the three vehicles, then the Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra states, 'Just as when a person obtains food it is also called nirvāṇa'; when the two vehicles sever the afflictions of the three realms, do they not attain a small part of nirvāṇa? Therefore, one should not use the statement about a small part to prove a teaching shared by the three vehicles. Furthermore, the Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā-prajñāpāramitā states: 'This sūtra is spoken for those of the Great Vehicle, spoken for those of the Supreme Vehicle.' Hence we know that Prajñā is not a teaching shared by the three vehicles.
