注維摩詰經 5.6

5.6

什曰：言乃超出我上，豈直諸賢。此蓋深往之情耳，豈其實哉？肇曰：三萬二千何必不任，文殊師利何必獨最？意謂至人變謀無方、隱顯殊迹，故迭為脩短應物之情耳。孰敢定其優劣、辯其得失乎？文殊將適群心而奉使命，故先歎淨名之德，以生眾會難遭之想也。其人道尊，難為酬對，為當承佛聖旨，行問疾耳。

[Kumāra]jīva says: To say that he surpasses me—how could it be only the other worthy ones? This is merely an expression of profound admiration; how could it be the actual reality? [Seng]zhao says: Why must the thirty-two thousand necessarily be incompetent, and why must Mañjuśrī alone be supreme? My thought is that the ultimate man's transformations and strategies are boundless, his hidden and revealed traces differing; thus they alternately show greater or lesser capacity to respond to the sentiments of sentient beings. Who would dare fix their superiority and inferiority, or assess their gains and losses? Mañjuśrī, about to suit the minds of the multitude and accept the mission, therefore first praised the virtues of the Pure Name so as to give rise in the assembly to the realization that he is difficult to encounter. That man's Way is exalted and he is difficult to engage in conversation with; I should merely receive the Buddha's holy command and go inquire after his illness.'
