2.67

經「恭敬圍繞」者，修謹曰恭，崇仰曰敬，周迴曰圍。坐遍稱繞，或作行遶，即表機動。「四句」者，一戒乘俱急。戒急受人天報，乘急見佛得道，即此經天人在會是也。二戒緩乘急。戒緩生惡趣，乘急值佛得道，今龍鬼在會是也。三戒急乘緩。戒急得人天身，乘緩不得值佛，設得值佛亦不聞法得道，如舍衛六億，及著樂諸天不來聽法，皆是也。四戒乘俱緩。戒緩墮惡道，乘緩無解脫期。

Regarding the sūtra's "reverently surrounding": practicing prudence is called "respectful" (gong); venerating is called "reverent" (jing); surrounding on all sides is called "encircling" (wei). Sitting all around is called "surrounding" (rao); alternatively, it means walking in circumambulation, which indicates the stirring of their capacities. As for the "four propositions": first, both precepts and vehicle are urgent. If precepts are urgent, one receives human or heavenly retribution; if the vehicle is urgent, one sees the Buddha and attains the Path. This is exemplified by the humans and heavenly beings present in the assembly of this sūtra. Second, precepts are lax and the vehicle is urgent. If precepts are lax, one is born in the evil destinies; if the vehicle is urgent, one encounters the Buddha and attains the Path. This is exemplified by the dragons and spirits present in the assembly. Third, precepts are urgent and the vehicle is lax. If precepts are urgent, one obtains a human or heavenly body; if the vehicle is lax, one cannot encounter the Buddha; even if one encounters the Buddha, one does not hear the Dharma and attain the Path. This is exemplified by the six hundred million of Śrāvastī and the heavenly beings attached to pleasure who do not come to hear the Dharma. Fourth, both precepts and vehicle are lax. If precepts are lax, one falls into the evil destinies; if the vehicle is lax, there is no prospect of liberation.
