次就人論。人謂聲聞菩薩及佛,約就此人辨義有四:一隨人別分。如論中說:聲聞之人有一切智,以能總相知諸法故。又復聲聞但能通相知於諸法,不能別知。又復但能略知諸法,不能廣知。是故說彼有一切智。菩薩之人有道種智,能知一切差別道法化眾生故。諸佛有其一切種智,以能別相廣知法故。二簡勝異劣。於此門中下不兼上,上得兼下。以是義故,聲聞唯得有一分智,無餘二種;菩薩之人有道種智兼一切智,無一切種;諸佛如來具足三智。三簡大異小。佛菩薩大,聲聞是小。小中單直有一切智,大中不爾,佛與菩薩兼具三智。四就實通論。聲聞之人小分具三,菩薩漸勝,諸佛並極。三智如是。

Next, discussing them with respect to persons. "Persons" refers to śrāvakas, bodhisattvas, and Buddhas. Distinguishing the doctrine in terms of these persons has four [points]: First, differentiating according to persons. As stated in the treatise: A śrāvaka has the knowledge of all (sarvajñatā), because they are able to know all dharmas in their general characteristics. Furthermore, a śrāvaka is only able to know all dharmas in their universal characteristics, but cannot know them in their distinct characteristics. Furthermore, they are only able to know all dharmas in brief, but cannot know them in detail. Therefore, they are said to have the knowledge of all. A bodhisattva has the knowledge of the paths in their aspects (mārgākārajñatā), because they are able to know all the distinct paths and dharmas to transform sentient beings. The Buddhas have the knowledge of all aspects (sarvākārajñatā), because they are able to know dharmas in detail and in their distinct characteristics. Second, distinguishing the superior from the inferior. In this approach, what is lower does not encompass what is higher, but what is higher does encompass what is lower. For this reason, a śrāvaka only attains a single fraction of knowledge and lacks the other two kinds; a bodhisattva has the knowledge of the paths in their aspects and additionally possesses the knowledge of all, but lacks [the knowledge of] all aspects; the Buddha-Tathāgatas are fully endowed with all three knowledges. Third, distinguishing the Great from the Small. Buddhas and bodhisattvas are Great, whereas śrāvakas are Small. Within the Small, there is merely the knowledge of all in isolation; within the Great, it is not so: Buddhas and bodhisattvas both possess all three knowledges. Fourth, discussing generally according to reality. Śrāvakas possess all three in a minor measure, bodhisattvas are gradually superior, and the Buddhas are completely consummate. Such are the three knowledges.
