贊曰：下釋疑難。謂有難言：若諸聲聞皆當作佛，其遇佛者蒙佛教化可當住佛，佛滅度後有求聲聞不聞是經，不覺不知菩薩之行廣大弘遠，於自所證有為、無為二功德中，作有餘涅槃滅度想，求當入無餘涅槃，是人云何當得作佛？故下釋之。文有其三：初牒所疑之人，次釋彼亦作佛，後解所由。此牒所疑聲聞也。

> The Commentary says: Below, he resolves doubts and objections. That is, there is an objection saying: If all śrāvakas are to become buddhas, those who meet the Buddha and receive the Buddha's teaching may indeed abide in buddhahood; but after the Buddha's extinction, if there are those who seek to be śrāvakas, who do not hear this sūtra, who are unaware and ignorant of the vast and extensive bodhisattva practice, and who, regarding the two merits of conditioned and unconditioned that they have realized themselves, form the notion of extinction of nirvāṇa with residue and seek to enter nirvāṇa without residue—how could such people attain buddhahood? Therefore, below he resolves it. The text has three parts: first, restating the questioned persons; next, explaining that they too will become buddhas; later, explaining the reason. This restates the śrāvakas who are questioned.
