答中，初總舉。云因時者，隨機興制，不可一概故。言乖，謂文或有異；趣合，謂各有其理。一下，別示。六中，第五並是善事；自他二利，分之自別。餘五皆善惡相對，初約愛憎慈心損益對；二約根利鈍對；三聞見廣狹對，無補謂不益於人；四求利為法對；六初心久學對，兼人謂倍人之智。

In the answer, it first presents a general overview. Saying 'due to the occasion' means the prohibition was instituted according to the capacity of beings, so it cannot be generalized. Stating 'contradiction' means the texts may have differences; 'meeting of purports' means each has its reason. From 'the first' downwards specifically demonstrates this. Among the six, the fifth are entirely good deeds; dividing them into benefits for oneself and others makes them naturally distinct. The other five are all contrasts between good and evil: the first is the contrast between love/hate and a compassionate mind of detriment/benefit; the second is the contrast between sharp and dull faculties; the third is the contrast between broad and narrow hearing/seeing, where 'no benefit' means not benefiting people; the fourth is the contrast between seeking gain and acting for the Dharma; the sixth is the contrast between initial resolve and long-time training, where 'surpassing others' means wisdom that doubles other people's.
