答：小乘雖無六十劫說《法華經》不可思議，有餘五不可思議，謂佛力龍力等。今一音說法，即是明佛不可思議也。次言一音者，不必但局梵音，如來隨吐一音能令異類各聞，故名一音也。又一音者，人聞即人音、天聞則天音，非人非天也。以是天人音故名為多，以非人非天故名一音。乃至聲聞聞小、菩薩聞大，而音非大非小，故名為一也。

> Answer: Although the Small Vehicle does not have the inconceivability of speaking the Lotus Sūtra for sixty kalpas, it has the other five inconceivabilities, namely the Buddha's power, the nāga's power, and so forth. Now, teaching the Dharma with a single voice is precisely clarifying the Buddha's inconceivability. Next, saying 'a single voice' does not necessarily restrict it to the Brahmā voice alone; whatever single voice the Tathāgata utters is able to cause different kinds each to hear it, and hence it is called a single voice. Furthermore, as for the single voice: when humans hear it, it is a human voice; when devas hear it, it is a deva voice; it is neither human nor deva. Because it is the voice of devas and humans, it is called multiple; because it is neither human nor deva, it is called a single voice. Up to the śrāvakas hearing the small and the bodhisattvas hearing the great, yet the voice is neither great nor small, and hence it is called single.
