「於諸菩薩中」下,第二、正明說一乘也,指三乘人名為菩薩。「正直捨方便」者,廢權教,顯露廢權名為正直。昔在鹿薗之會正立於權,未得明捨,亦是意捨言不捨;至付財之時但是密捨,未得稱於正直。又昔執三是實為邪,今遂捨之為正;三乘望佛道迂迴稱曲,今廢三乘則直至佛道故云直也。「但說無上道」者,明立實也。昔廢實立權,今廢權立實也。

From "Among the bodhisattvas" onward is the second [part], directly explaining the preaching of the single vehicle, designating the persons of the triyāna by the name "bodhisattvas." As for "Uprightly discarding expedient means," it is setting aside the provisional teaching; discarding the provisional openly and clearly is called "upright." Formerly, in the assembly at the Deer Park, he directly established the provisional and had not yet been able to discard it clearly; this was also discarding it in intention but not in words. When it came to the time of bestowing the wealth, it was only a secret discarding, and could not yet be called "upright." Furthermore, formerly clinging to the three as real was false; now finally relinquishing them is upright. When looking toward the Buddha path, the triyāna is circuitous and called "crooked"; now, discarding the triyāna leads straight to the Buddha path; hence it says "straight (upright)." As for "Only preaching the unexcelled path," it explains the establishment of the real. Formerly, he discarded the real to establish the provisional; now, he discards the provisional to establish the real.
