43.42

Sengliang notes: The Tathāgata's words are not set forth in vain; how could he preach the Dharma for icchantikas? That must certainly not be so. Baoliang says: Jīvaka expounds the Buddha's intention, preaching the Dharma obliquely. If he still preaches the Dharma for icchantikas, how much more so when the king is not an icchantika! Zhixiu says: Third, although the king has received the light, his mind has not yet reached understanding, so he asks Jīvaka to resolve it.
