Now, because the emancipating Dispensation becomes evident only by contrast with the non-emancipating Dispensation, showing first the non-emancipating Dispensation, he said, “Here, Cunda, the teacher is not a fully awakened Buddha,” and so forth. There, “departing from that Dhamma, he conducts himself” means that he does not fulfill it continuously; descending again and again and making intervals, he conducts himself, this is the meaning. “To such a one as you, friend, it is a gain” means to such a one as you, these gains such as practice in accordance with the Dhamma [belong]. “Well obtained” means that even human existence is well obtained by you. “May he practice thus” means let him practice in this way. “As the Dhamma was taught to you by the Teacher” means in the manner in which the Dhamma was spoken to you by the Teacher. “Both he who instigates” means the teacher who instigates. “And him whom he instigates” means the student whom he instigates. “And he who is instigated” means the student who has been so instigated. He practices for that purpose as instigated by the teacher. “All of them” means all three of them. For here, the teacher produces demerit because he instigates; the student who undertakes it, because he has undertaken it; and the practitioner, because he has practiced. Therefore it was said: “All of them produce much demerit.” In this manner, the meaning should be understood in all the cycles.
