「於是」下，二比丘心得清淨。文為三：一二比丘稱歎淨名、二波離愜伏述成、三二比丘心淨發心。一、二比丘歎。波離拙度奉律，淨名巧度奉律，拙巧之殊，故歎言「上智者哉」。波離拙度之所不及，所以不能說者，但於三藏明律之上，不能用衍通別圓教赴機判斷，故言而不能說。

> From "Thereupon..." down, the minds of the two monks attain purity. The text has three parts: first, the two monks praise Vimalakīrti; second, Upāli readily submits and confirms it; third, the two monks purify their minds and generate the aspiration. First, the two monks praise him. Upāli upheld the precepts through clumsy crossing-over, while Vimalakīrti upheld the precepts through skillful crossing-over; because of the difference between clumsy and skillful, they praise him, saying, "A person of superior wisdom!" That which Upāli's clumsy crossing-over could not reach—the reason he could not explain it was that he only clarified the vinaya upon the Tripiṭaka, and could not use the shared, distinct, and perfect teachings of the Mahāyāna to respond to capacities and make discernment; hence it says, "yet he could not explain it."
