(以下的《凡圣偈》是此经句的解释。
The ’Verses On Ordinary And Noble Beings‘ below explain this sūtra passage.)
分辨佛魔之说
我灭度后，敕诸菩萨，及阿罗汉，应身生彼末法之中，作种种形，度诸轮转。或作沙门、白衣居士、人王宰官、童男童女。如是乃至淫女寡妇、奸偷屠贩，与其同事，称赞佛乘，令其身心入三摩地。终不自言：『我真菩萨、真阿罗汉』，泄佛密因，轻言未学。唯除命终，阴有遗付。云何是人，惑乱众生，成大妄语？… 如我所说，名为佛说。不如此说，即波旬说。
释迦牟尼佛
《大佛顶首楞严经》卷第六：四种决定清净明诲章：第四重戒
Differentiate Between [The] Speech Of Buddhas [And] Demons
After my Parinirvāṇa, I order all Bodhisattvas [and] Arhats, [to] manifest bodies [to be] born within that Dharma-Ending Age, [to] become all kinds [of] forms, [to] deliver all [from] rebirth. Perhaps becoming Śramaṇas, white-robed laypersons, kings, officials, young males [and] young females. As such, and even [as] licentious women, widows, adulterers, thieves, butchers [and] peddlers, with them together working, praising [the] Buddha Vehicle, [to] enable their bodies [and] minds [to] enter Samādhi. [To the] end, not self-saying, “I am [a] true Bodhisattva, [a] true Arhat”, [to] divulge [the] Buddha’s secret cause, [to] lightly speak [so to those] yet [to] learn. Only except [at] life’s end, secretly having [that] left [for] entrusting. Why [would] these persons, confuse sentient beings, [by] accomplishing great false speech?… Such [that] I [have] spoken, [is] named as Buddhas’ speech. Not such [as] spoken, is Pāpīyāms’ speech.’

凡圣偈
Verses [On] Ordinary [And] Noble [Beings]
楞严经中，佛敕圣者，菩萨罗汉，末法之中，化为僧俗，作种种形，与其同事，不真破戒。
In [the] Śūraṅgama Sūtra, [the] Buddha ordered noble beings, Bodhisattvas [and] Arhats [to], within this Dharma-Ending [Age], manifest as monastics [and] laypersons, [to] become all kinds [of] forms, with them together working, not truly breaking [any] precepts.
度诸轮转，称赞佛乘，终不自言，是真圣者，以此应知，言即凡夫，非真圣者，是破戒者。
Delivering all [from] rebirth, praising [the] Buddha Vehicle, [to the] end not self-saying, [they] are true noble beings, with this, [it] should [be] known, [that those who] say [so are] then ordinary beings, not true noble beings, [and] are those breaking [this Fourth Heavy] Precept (第四重戒).
泄佛密因，惑乱众生，助长凡夫，以凡滥圣，成大妄语，即波旬说，唯除命终，阴有遗付。
[If] divulging [the] Buddha’s secret cause, confusing sentient beings, [this] encourages ordinary beings [to], with ordinary [beings] indiscriminated [as] noble [beings], accomplish great false speech, then [as] Pāpīyāms’ speech, only excepted [are those at] life’s end, secretly having [that] left [for] entrusting.
言后即终，不终即魔，真善巧者，平时不言，言者非圣，圣者不言，不守此戒，非真佛子。
[If] saying [so], immediately [with life] ending, [if] not ending, immediately [being] demonic, those [with] true skilful means, [in] normal times [will] not say [so, with] those saying [so] not [as] noble [beings, and] noble beings not saying [so, those] not guarding this precept, [are] not [the] Buddha’s true disciples.
