金師子章雲間類解 1.74

1.74

Because they awaken and understand through the preaching of the four noble truths, they are named śrāvakas. Having eliminated the attachment to self but not yet realized the emptiness of dharmas, they are called 'deluded about dharmas.' Some editions have: 'The teaching of fools is called the śrāvaka teaching.' However, this single teaching subsumes humans and devas below, for what is profound necessarily includes the shallow; thus above it extends to pratyekabuddhas, because their principle and fruit are identical. It is like distinguishing the piṭakas in terms of persons, where only the śrāvaka-piṭaka is cited.
