問：定用何判？答：方等大乘一音演說何妨通勸，隨機所感不可定判。又約諸味所感不同，今方等四因得二種果，比說可知，故今所勸或是酬前兩觀舉兩佛之果，或一音異解隨其根性望果修因。

> Question: By what definitive standard should this be judged? Answer: When the Vaipulya Mahāyāna is expounded with a single voice, what obstacle is there to a general exhortation? Responding in accordance with capacity, it cannot be definitively judged. Furthermore, in terms of the different responses to the various flavors, here in the Vaipulya the four causes attain two kinds of fruits, which can be understood by comparison; therefore, what is now exhorted either repays the preceding two contemplations by presenting the fruits of two buddhas, or, through a single voice evoking different understandings according to their faculties and dispositions, they cultivate the cause looking toward the fruit.
