維摩義記 2.79

2.79

自下第三維摩知來空室相待。於中初念「文殊師利與眾俱來」，此念其來，不念空室。有人言：此念欲空室，與後為由。其言謬也，良以維摩待化如渴，如來心喜故為此念。次「以神力空其室內除去所有及諸侍者」，空室是總，除有及侍，顯室空也。為欲寄此起後言端，所以空之。「下置一床以疾而臥」，亦欲寄病而有所顯，故置一床以疾現臥。

From here down is the third [part]: Vimalakīrti, knowing they are coming, empties his room to await them. Within this, he first thought, "Mañjuśrī is coming together with the assembly"; this thinks of their coming, not of emptying the room. Some say: this thought desires to empty the room, providing the reason for what follows. Their words are mistaken; truly because Vimalakīrti awaited conversion as if thirsty, and the Tathāgata's mind was joyful, he therefore had this thought. Next, "by spiritual power, he emptied the interior of his room, removing all possessions and attendants": emptying the room is general; removing possessions and attendants reveals the room's emptiness. Desiring to rely on this to initiate what follows, he therefore emptied it. "Leaving only a single bed, he lay down in illness": also desiring to rely on the illness to reveal something, he therefore set out a single bed and manifested lying down in illness.
