4.204

The above was the specific application. From "Like the cowherd..." onward, it generally applies [the analogy] to reveal the faults: first adducing the analogy, and then demonstrating the faults in terms [of the Dharma]: mixing in worldly talk and corrupting this sūtra, causing people to be unable to preach correctly or study correctly. From "These evil monks, for the sake of gain and support..." onward applies to the second section; within it, it only applies to demanding a high price, leaving the rest unapplied in brief. From "Like that poor woman who sold milk..." onward applies to the third section, first citing the preceding analogy and then demonstrating the Dharma in terms [of it]. From "Although it is tasteless..." onward applies to the fourth section: first making the direct application; from "like that..." onward annotating it; from "Why?" onward explaining it; from "an analogy like..." onward annotating it; and from "therefore..." onward concluding.
