天台八教大意 1.5

1.5

次明方等《大集》、《寶積》、《淨名》，褒圓歎大，折小彈偏，自悲敗種。約譬次第名生酥味，故《涅槃》云：「從修多羅出方等典，譬從酪出生酥。」故迦葉領解云：「過是已後，心相體信，出入無難，然其所止猶在本處」，即第三味也。

Next, explaining the vaipulya [period], the Mahāsaṃnipāta, Ratnakūṭa, and Vimalakīrtinirdeśa praise the perfect and extol the great, while breaking down the small and censuring the one-sided, so that they lamented their ruined seeds. In terms of the sequence of the metaphor, it is called the flavor of fresh butter. Therefore the Nirvāṇa [Sūtra] says: 'From the sūtras emerge the vaipulya scriptures, just as from curd comes fresh butter.' Therefore Kāśyapa expressed his understanding, saying: 'After this, their minds gained mutual confidence, and he went in and out without difficulty, yet his dwelling place remained where it was before'; this is the third flavor.
