妙法蓮華經玄贊 2.302

2.302

The commentary states: Below, the eight hundred disciples becoming buddhas has two parts: first, the defiled cause; second, the pure cause. This is the first. Internally, his wondrous karma was not pure, and externally, he was excessively greedy for reputation; therefore, he was called Seeking-Fame. The treatise says: "You were called Seeking-Fame to demonstrate your knowledge of past matters; otherwise, it would merely become pointing out another's fault."
