維摩義記 4.55

4.55

下次淨彼菴羅薗中聲聞之心，令於維摩起深敬意。於中先明維摩智德聲聞不量，後彰維摩所有神通二乘不作。先中初言「且止阿難」，止其前言。亦可止其測度之心，故曰且止。下正誡之。「其有智者不應限度諸菩薩也」，明人叵測。「一切海淵尚可測」等，明德難量，別言菩薩，正論維摩。下明神通不可作中，「汝等捨置菩薩所行」，簡去前行。「是維摩詰一時所現神通力」等，正就神通明不能作。「是維摩詰」，人之劣也。「一時所現」，時中從也。「一切聲聞辟支佛」等，明人多也。「於百千劫」，時之長也。多人多劫尚不能為，何況少人少時而能作也。上來第二淨眾心器。

Next, it purifies the minds of those śrāvakas in the Āmrapālī grove, causing them to give rise to a profound mind of reverence toward Vimalakīrti. Therein, it first explains that Vimalakīrti's wisdom and virtue cannot be measured by śrāvakas; afterward, it reveals that all the supernormal powers possessed by Vimalakīrti cannot be performed by the two vehicles. In the first part, it initially says, "Halt, Ānanda!" halting his previous words. It can also halt his calculating mind, hence it says, "Halt." Below, it directly admonishes him. "One who has wisdom should not place limits on bodhisattvas" explains that the person is unfathomable. "All the ocean abysses can still be measured..." and so forth explains that his virtues are difficult to measure; specifically saying "bodhisattvas" directly discusses Vimalakīrti. In the subsequent explanation that the supernormal powers cannot be performed, "Set aside what you and the others, the bodhisattvas, practice" excludes the previous practices. "The supernormal powers manifested at one time by this Vimalakīrti..." and so forth directly clarifies with respect to supernormal powers that they cannot perform them. "This Vimalakīrti" is the single individual. "Manifested at one time" is the brevity of time. "All śrāvakas and pratyekabuddhas..." and so forth explains that the people are many. "In hundreds of thousands of kalpas" is the length of time. If many people over many kalpas still cannot do it, how much less could a few people in a brief time perform it? The above is the second part, purifying the mental vessels of the assembly.
