案僧亮曰：此下諸譬，佛成迦葉所說也。秋月雖明，有目乃見，於無目者名為藏也。佛法亦爾，於智者為顯，愚者為䨱也。寶亮曰：佛廣說十譬，前八譬一向明無祕藏；第九譬，釋教明所以不先說深法者，為眾生故也；第十譬，明眾生若不在此五時教中學者，非佛於彼有惜故也。此第一譬也。

> Sengliang states: "In the metaphors from here down, the Buddha validates what Kāśyapa said. Although the autumn moon is bright, only those with eyes see it; for those without eyes, it is called hidden. The Buddha's Dharma is also like this: for the wise it is revealed, while for the foolish it is concealed." Baoliang states: "The Buddha extensively speaks ten metaphors. The first eight metaphors exclusively clarify that there is no secret treasury. The ninth metaphor explains the teaching, clarifying that the reason he did not speak the profound Dharma first was for the sake of sentient beings. The tenth metaphor clarifies that if sentient beings do not study within these teachings of the five periods, it is not because the Buddha begrudged them anything. This is the first metaphor."
