金光明最勝王經疏 3.213

3.213

贊曰：喻。初標、次徵、後釋。以無大姓，唯有有漏，智力微劣故，所不能度故。《解深密經》云「我於凡愚不開演，恐彼分別執為我。」護法菩薩等釋：凡謂無性，愚謂趣寂。又此或據凡夫二乘根未熟位不能解了，根熟能知。或如《法華經》中所說，三乘不知，據未圓滿知。唯佛圓滿知，言彼不知。將成汝能依言而解，甚為希有。

Commentary: Metaphor. First presenting it, next questioning, then explaining. Because they lack the great gotra and possess only tainted nature, their power of wisdom is slight and weak, so they cannot cross over. The Saṃdhinirmocanasūtra states: "I do not reveal it to the foolish and ordinary, fearing that they would conceptually grasp it as a self." Bodhisattva Dharmapāla and others explain: "ordinary" refers to those without the lineage; "foolish" refers to those inclined toward tranquility. Alternatively, this may be based on the stage where the faculties of ordinary beings and the two vehicles are not yet matured and so cannot comprehend, whereas once their faculties are matured they can know. Or, as taught in the Saddharmapuṇḍarīkasūtra, that the three vehicles do not know is based on not knowing completely; only the Buddha knows completely, so it is said they do not know. Bringing it about that you can understand according to these words is exceedingly rare.
