大般涅槃經義記 6.149

6.149

第三番中，句別有四：一如來誡約，有傳經者一切不得非法宣說：「莫非時」者，觀前眾生憂惱病患貪著諸欲，無心求時不得為說；「莫非國」者，小乘國中不得宣說；「莫不請」等，直言可知；「莫滅法」者，不得彼此共相非毀；言「莫熾燃世法說」者，不得教人習學此經求世名利。二明非時乃至熾燃，生世譏呵。三令他墮獄。四如來結呵。

In the third round, there are distinctly four clauses: First, the Tathāgata's admonition and prohibition, that anyone transmitting the sūtra must not under any circumstances expound it improperly: 'not at improper times' means that when observing that sentient beings before one are distressed with worries, afflicted with illness, or greedily attached to various desires, and have no intention to seek [the Dharma], one must not expound it for them; 'not in improper lands' means that it must not be expounded in Hīnayāna lands; 'not uninvited', etc., is understood directly from the words; 'not destroying the Dharma' means that neither side may mutually criticize and disparage each other; as for 'not expounding it out of flaming attachment to worldly phenomena', it means that one must not instruct others to study and practice this sūtra to seek worldly fame and profit. Second, it explains that from improper times down to flaming attachment, worldly ridicule and scolding are produced. Third, it causes others to fall into hell. Fourth, the Tathāgata concludes with scolding.
