疏「涅槃慳者之前不讚布施」者，即三十四經〈迦葉菩薩品〉「佛告迦葉：『我於餘經中說五種眾生，不應還為說五種法，為不信者不讚正信、為毀禁者不讚持戒、為慳貪者不讚布施、為懈怠者不讚多聞、為愚癡者不讚智慧。何以故？智者若為是五種人說是五事，當知說者不得名為具足知諸根力，不得名為憐愍眾生。何以故？是五種人聞是事已，生不信心惡心嗔心，以是因緣於無量劫受苦果報。』」今疏引之，以成今文應具四義。言是隨樂者，彼不樂故，亦是不宜讚故。

> Regarding the Commentary's line: "In the Nirvāṇa \[Sūtra\], before a stingy person, one does not praise giving": this refers to the thirty-fourth fascicle, the 'Chapter on Bodhisattva Kāśyapa': "The Buddha told Kāśyapa: 'In other sūtras I have taught that for five kinds of sentient beings, one should not turn around and preach five kinds of dharmas: for those lacking faith, one does not praise correct faith; for those who break the precepts, one does not praise morality; for those who are stingy and greedy, one does not praise giving; for those who are indolent, one does not praise erudition; for those who are foolish, one does not praise wisdom. Why is this? If a wise person speaks these five matters for these five kinds of people, you should know that the speaker cannot be called one fully endowed with knowledge of faculties and powers, nor can they be called one with compassion for sentient beings. Why is this? When these five kinds of people hear these matters, they give rise to lack of faith, an evil mind, and anger, and by this cause and condition they suffer painful retributions for immeasurable kalpas.'" Now the Commentary cites this to establish that the present text should possess the four meanings. Stating that this is adaptation to inclination is because they do not delight in it, and it is also because it is not suitable to praise it.
