Regarding "lest they conceptually grasp it as a self": this is the fourth line, explaining the second reason why it is not taught, namely, out of fear of giving rise to afflictions. Ordinary beings have not yet severed the two graspings, and there is fear that the grasping of the two selves would arise; as for the two vehicles, although the self of the person has been removed, the self of phenomena still remains, and there is fear that they would give rise to this. The self is of two kinds: first, conceptually constructed; second, innate. The innate self arises spontaneously, whereas the conceptually constructed self arises only due to teachings. Fearing that ordinary beings would, because of the teachings, give rise to conceptually constructing the two selves, and that the two vehicles would, through conditions, give rise to conceptually constructing the self of phenomena, he therefore did not teach it.
