Daosheng states: Because they dwell together in safety, they are 'one household'. Sengliang states: Ordinary beings are compared to the young; the two vehicles are compared to the old. Fayao states: The myriad varieties of sentient beings being dissimilar constitutes 'old and young'. Residing together within defilements constitutes 'the household'. Being universally deluded regarding the principle constitutes 'none was aware'. Tanji states: The body having superior and inferior constitutes 'old and young'. Sengzong states: Wisdom from hearing is the young; wisdom from cultivation is the old. Baoliang states: Broadly citing that none in the six destinies knows, it therefore says 'old and young'. Zhixiu states: Within the single household of the Buddha-Dharma, all who are trainees, because the Buddha had not yet spoken of it, are called 'unaware'.
