[Seng]zhao says: Bodhisattva Dharaṇīṃdhara was a bhikṣu at that time. [Dao]sheng says: He had just taught him to practice generosity. Now that the other complied, in principle he should have accepted them; yet they were not suitable. The heart of a giver only desires that the other person take it; hence he said: 'Do not, on account of what I just said regarding giving, constrain me to accept them.' By speaking of 'a śramaṇa and son of the Śākya clan,' he clarifies that according to principle it was inappropriate for him, not that he was arbitrarily rejecting another's good deed.
