經曰「白佛言」以下,第二述請辭。此中二:初指本、後請廣說。是初也。《大成佛經》云「前後經中所未說」,甚違此經。一云同本別譯,然所未說者,譯者誤也。一云別本別譯故,大先說,小後說之。此二說中初為勝,謂此經無證信序,必從大經出,是故知大經誤也。

From the sūtra's words, "He addressed the Buddha, saying..." onward is the second, recounting the words of the request. Within this there are two: first, pointing to the original; second, requesting a broad exposition. This is the first. The *Great Sūtra on the Attainment of Buddhahood* says, "What was not spoken in previous and subsequent sūtras," which greatly contradicts this sūtra. One says they are different translations of the same original text, and that "what was not spoken" was an error of the translator. Another says they are different translations of different original texts; hence the *Great [Sūtra]* was spoken first, and the *Lesser* was spoken later. Between these two explanations, the first is superior: because this sūtra has no preface establishing faith, it must have been extracted from the *Great Sūtra*; therefore, we know the *Great Sūtra* is erroneous.
