3.339

肇曰:受使若此,致譏若彼。進退懷愧,或謂謬聽也。生曰:近佛而謬,所以應慚也。謬必致罪,不得不懼也。得無之言,誠是從容之辭,而意在必謬也。

[Seng]zhao says: "Having received such an errand, he brought upon himself such reproach. Hesitating between proceeding and withdrawing, he felt ashamed, wondering if he had heard incorrectly." [Dao]sheng says: "Being close to the Buddha yet making an error was the reason he should feel ashamed. An error inevitably leads to fault, so he could not help but be fearful. The phrase 'could it be' is indeed a polite, gentle expression, but his thought was that it was certainly an error."
