### [5.93](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.5.93)

所以遠言此四事者，尋跡由來自古至今始終皆是一佛，故知非魔惑亂也。又身子非但悟解三乘方便、一乘真實，亦知從初生說法皆是方便。所以然者，道理唯一而方便說三，亦道理無生而方便說生，出家得道義亦類然也。

> The reason he spoke of these four events reaching far back is that, tracing the origin of the traces from ancient times to the present, from beginning to end it has all been one Buddha; thus one knows it was not Māra confusing and disrupting. Moreover, Śāriputra not only understood that the triyāna is upāya and the ekayāna is real, but he also knew that from initial birth to preaching the Dharma, all are upāya. The reason this is so is that the principle is solely one, yet as an upāya three are taught; likewise, the principle is unarisen, yet as an upāya birth is taught. The meanings of leaving home and attaining the Way are also of this class.
