2.25

第二呵其違根說中,「汝不能知眾生根原」,呵不知根。「勿得發」下,遮其授小。「無得發起以小乘法」,法說以遮。「彼自無創勿傷之也」,喻說以遮。彼諸比丘大根完具,名為無創。教小侵損,目之為傷。遮抑不聽,故言勿傷。

In the second [point], rebuking him for expounding contrary to their faculties: "You cannot know the root source of sentient beings" rebukes him for not knowing their faculties. From "Do not arouse" onwards stops him from conferring the small. "Do not arouse them with the Hīnayāna teaching" stops him through a doctrinal statement. "They themselves have no wound; do not hurt them" stops him through an analogy. Those monks were fully possessed of great faculties, which is called "having no wound". Teaching them the small harms and diminishes them, which is referred to as "hurting" them. He obstructs and does not permit it, hence he says, "do not hurt them."
