觀無量壽佛經義疏 2.25

2.25

"Then the gatekeeper said: 'Great King! The Great Queen of the state smeared her body with roasted flour and honey, filled her garlands with juice, and brought them to offer to the king. The śramaṇas Maudgalyāyana and Pūrṇa came through the air to preach the Dharma for the king; they could not be stopped.'" The king had forbidden the ministers, but did not mention the queen. The śramaṇas entered through the air, which the gate could not stop, so he used these words intending to avoid blame. Third, the king hears and angrily reviles.
