4.174

[Seng]zhao says: Because Dharaṇīṃdhara had not yet realized, he exposed [Māra's] condition. Intending to transform the maidens, he outwardly demanded them from him: 'I am a white-robed layperson; it is fitting that I accept these women. Why give them to a śramaṇa, a son of the Śākya clan?' [Dao]sheng says: Generosity fundamentally desires only to relinquish things and should not select the master. Since you can practice it, then you should give them to me, for I am one who accepts such things.
