二、明正通此經者，今淨名欲令釋迦正法久住，是故室外彈訶、室內攝受。通論彈訶、攝受，處處皆得，如人訶罵是暫時，長養是本心。而今或時用權智訶，以實智攝，如彈國王、長者，即是權訶；當樂佛身，是實攝也。如訶須菩提云「於食等者，於法亦等」，入八邪而得八正，是用實智訶，還用權攝；云「如佛說幻人，以是事訶，寧有懼不」，此即權攝，訶阿難亦爾。如訶彌勒等，實智訶，實智攝受；如訶迦旃延，權彈、權受。室內別義云云。故知淨名折伏、攝受，成於此教也。

> Second, explaining the direct application to this sūtra: Now, Vimalakīrti wished to make Śākyamuni's true Dharma abide long, and for this reason he rebuked outside the room and embraced inside the room. Speaking generally of rebuking and embracing, they can be found everywhere; just as when a person scolds someone, it is temporary, while nurturing them is the original intention. At times he uses provisional knowledge to rebuke and ultimate knowledge to embrace: for example, rebuking the kings and elders is provisional rebuke, while causing them to delight in the Buddha's body is ultimate embrace. When he rebuked Subhūti, saying: 'One who is equal regarding food is also equal regarding dharmas,' entering the eight heterodoxies and thereby attaining the eightfold correct path—this is using ultimate knowledge to rebuke, yet using the provisional to embrace; when he said: 'Like a person conjured by the Buddha: if scolded with such things, would they feel any fear?'—this is provisional embrace; rebuking Ānanda is also like this. As for rebuking Maitreya and others, it is rebuking with ultimate knowledge and embracing with ultimate knowledge; as for rebuking Kātyāyana, it is provisional rebuke and provisional embrace. The different meanings inside the room are elaborated in detail elsewhere. Hence we know that Vimalakīrti's subduing and embracing brought this teaching to completion.
