二、「此語」下，約義持翻。身子初遇阿鞞說偈詮三諦義，謂苦集滅，令速證故，不言道諦。身子一聞，即悟初果。及其轉為目連說之，再聞方悟。一說是略，再說是廣，豈非義持略利廣鈍耶？

> Second, from 'these words' downward, he reverses this in terms of retaining the meaning. When Śāriputra first met Aśvajit, who spoke a verse expressing the meaning of the three truths—namely, suffering, origination, and cessation—in order to cause him to realize it quickly, he did not mention the truth of the path. Upon hearing it once, Śāriputra immediately awakened to the first fruition. When he in turn explained it to Maudgalyāyana, Maudgalyāyana only awakened upon hearing it a second time. One explanation is brief, while a second explanation is extensive; does this not show that in retaining meaning, the brief is for the sharp and the extensive is for the dull?
