答：〈譬喻品〉云「若我但以神力及智慧力為諸眾生讚如來知見力無所畏者，眾生不能以是得度。」文既有但以之言，故知一乘化三人不得，故於一說三。化得三人，故有三子求三車也。

> Answer: The 'Parable' chapter states: 'If I had merely used my supernatural powers and wisdom power to praise for the sake of sentient beings the Tathāgata's insight, powers, and fearlessnesses, sentient beings would not have been able to attain deliverance thereby.' Since the text contains the words 'merely used,' we know that he could not convert the three kinds of persons through the one vehicle, and therefore expounded the three within the one. Having converted the three kinds of persons, there were accordingly three sons seeking three carriages.
