贊曰:下明所無。大乘之士,能有觀於根性妙智,故能分別前根利鈍。聲聞無此觀根妙智,故不知根利之與鈍。如舍利弗教二弟子,金師之子教以白骨。澣衣之子教以數息。亦如觀於最下乞兒,八萬劫前所修善根都不識故。舊文但有「不識」之言,無大乘智。

Commentary: Below, explaining what they lack. People of the Mahāyāna possess the marvelous wisdom that observes faculties and natures, and are therefore able to discern whether the faculties of those before them are sharp or dull. Śrāvakas lack this marvelous wisdom of observing faculties, and therefore do not know whether faculties are sharp or dull. For instance, Śāriputra taught two disciples: he taught the son of a goldsmith the contemplation of white bones, and he taught the son of a washerman the counting of breaths. Likewise, when observing the lowliest beggar, he did not recognize the roots of good he had cultivated eighty thousand kalpas ago. The old text only had the word 'not recognizing', and lacked 'Mahāyāna wisdom'.
