[Kumāra]jīva says: "Because the Buddha is deeply revered and their shame was profound, and also because they were terrified in the assembly. Furthermore, they thought that if the Tathāgata clearly saw the marks of phenomena and determined their guilt to be profound, they would be forever expelled from the pure assembly and their hopes for the true path cut off." [Dao]sheng says: "Having violated the holy prohibitions, combined with the stupidity and baseness of their conduct, they did not dare to openly inquire of the Buddha."
