金剛經纂要刊定記 2.100

2.100

The reason why it is not like the Jingming jishu (Collected Commentary on the Vimalakīrtinirdeśa), which fully records the names and meanings of the four sages, is just as He Yan in his Jijie Lunyu (Collected Explanations of the Analects) selected from the commentaries of Kong Anguo, Ma Rong, and others, adopting what was appropriate and cutting what was inappropriate. The present commentary is also like this: either taking both because each has principle, or combining them to form a single meaning; hence both are preserved.
