別奪因中，先奪昔偽，「今當」已下勸修今真。前中四句：一奪出家、二奪染衣、三奪乞食、四奪剃髮，文顯可知。勸修真中，「我今真實教勅汝等」總以標許；下別教之。於中有三：一明現在三寶緣具，勸令勤修。「我今現在」佛寶緣具、「大眾和合」僧寶緣具、「法性不倒」法實緣具。「是故」已下結勸修習，「當勤精進，攝心勇猛」勸修善法，「摧諸結使」教斷惡法。二「十力沒」下，舉聖滅有損，催令速修。名佛以為十力慧日，佛滅度後無人教汝斷除闇障，是故當為無明所覆；曼佛今在，當應速修。三「譬如」下，嘆法多益令其必修，先喻、後合。「我法亦爾」，合地藥草，「出生妙」等，合為生用。「出生妙善甘露法味」，明能生善，「而為眾生病之良藥」，明能滅惡。下眾因此所奪、所勸而為啟請，宜須記之。

> In individually revoking the cause, first he revokes past falsehood; from "You must now..." downward, he exhorts cultivation of the present truth. In the former there are four clauses: (1) revoking going forth from home, (2) revoking dyeing the robes, (3) revoking begging for food, and (4) revoking shaving the head. The text is clear and can be understood. In exhorting the cultivation of truth, "I now truly instruct you" generally indicates the permission; below he instructs them individually. Within this there are three: (1) clarifying that currently the conditions of the Three Jewels are complete, exhorting them to cultivate diligently. "I am now present" means the condition of the Buddha Jewel is complete; "the great assembly is harmonious" means the condition of the Sangha Jewel is complete; "the nature of dharmas is not contrary" means the condition of the reality of Dharma is complete. From "Therefore..." downward concludes with an exhortation to cultivate: "You should be vigorously diligent, gathering your minds with courage" exhorts cultivation of good dharmas; "destroy all fetters" instructs the severing of evil dharmas. (2) From "When the Ten Powers sink..." downward, he points out the loss when the sage passes away, urging them to cultivate quickly. The Buddha is called the wisdom sun of the Ten Powers; after the Buddha passes into extinction, there will be no one to instruct you to cut off dark obstacles, therefore you will be covered by ignorance. While the Buddha is still present now, you should cultivate swiftly. (3) From "Just as..." downward, he praises the Dharma as having many benefits, causing them to cultivate without fail, first by metaphor and then by application. "My Dharma is also like this" matches the medicinal herbs on the ground; "producing wondrous..." and so forth matches their function of producing. "Producing the wondrous, good, ambrosial flavor of Dharma" clarifies that it can produce good; "and acting as a good medicine for the illnesses of sentient beings" clarifies that it can extinguish evil. The assembly below makes their request on account of what was thus revoked and exhorted; this should be remembered.
