第十明大小。喚子得譬，鹿苑之教為小乘化；從付財竟委家業，皆大乘化也。此中無有三乘通教義。何以知之？教作人時但說二乘法，名三藏教；從《般若》已去，即付大乘法財，不復教二乘人作，故唯是大乘教也。若言《波若》是三乘通教者，付財之時應有通教三乘人作。

> Tenth is explaining the great and the small. In the parable of successfully summoning the son, the teaching of the Deer Park is conversion by the Hīnayāna; from entrusting the wealth to finally bequeathing the family estate, these are all conversions by the Mahāyāna. Here, there is no meaning of the shared teaching of the three vehicles. How is this known? When teaching them to act as laborers, he only preached the dharma of the two vehicles, which is called the Tripiṭaka teaching; from Prajñā onward, he entrusted them with the wealth of the Mahāyāna Dharma and no longer taught persons of the two vehicles to act \[as laborers\]; therefore, it is exclusively the Mahāyāna teaching. If one were to say that Prajñā is the shared teaching of the three vehicles, then at the time of entrusting the wealth, there should have been persons of the three vehicles of the shared teaching acting \[as laborers\].
