5.139

「彌勒」下,二、辭不堪。文為四:一辭不堪、二述不堪之由、三正述被彈、四結成不堪。初文者,良以往昔為兜率天王說不退轉之行,於彼無益,故為所彈,豈堪傳旨往問疾也。

From "Maitreya" downward is the second [part], declining as unworthy. The text has four [parts]: first, declining as unworthy; second, recounting the reason for being unworthy; third, properly recounting the rebuke; fourth, concluding that he is unworthy. As for the first text: truly, because in the past he taught the practice of non-retrogression to the king of the Tuṣita Heaven without benefit to him, he was rebuked for it; how could he be worthy to convey the decree and go inquire after the illness?
