10.38

什曰:冀或有大德諸天殊特供養,若有過此,慕欲及之。云雖盡己所珍,不能上悅聖心,冀所珍之外有以暢其誠心,故發斯念更惟勝供也。肇曰:極世肴珍無以攄其至到之情,冀所珍之外別有妙養以暢其誠心。又宿緣將會,故生斯念也。生曰:引過去以驗供養法身為勝也。

[Kumāra]jīva says: He hoped there might be extraordinary offerings of the great-virtue devas, and if there were any superior to this, he yearned to attain them. It means that although he had exhausted all his treasures, he could not supremely delight the sage's heart; he hoped that beyond those treasures there might be something to give voice to his sincerity, and therefore gave rise to this thought to reflect further on superior offerings. [Seng]zhao says: Exhausting all worldly delicacies and treasures could not express his ultimate devotion; he hoped that beyond these treasures there was a distinct, wondrous offering to give voice to his sincerity. Furthermore, past conditions were about to converge, so he gave rise to this thought. [Dao]sheng says: Citing the past verifies that offering to the dharmakāya is superior.
