These three and a half verses properly clarify that the Tathāgata speaks differently in response to capacities. The upper two lines generally indicate the intention of speaking. The next five lines mean that for those of sharp faculties he speaks the real Dharma of the One Vehicle. The next five lines mean that for other dull faculties he speaks various illusion-like dharmas, each according to the text. The lower two lines mean that if the spoken Dharma does not correspond to the capacity, it turns into false speech; hence it says 'non-teaching.'
