6.134

「雖然至問疾」,二、正恭命問疾。文殊謙下之儀已備,雖智德相隣,弟子之儀凡有所為皆承佛力。既是佛遣,還承佛加,冀無謬漏屈滯之失,故言「當承佛聖旨詣彼問疾」。

From "Although this is so" up to "inquire after the illness" is the second [part], directly accepting the command with respect to inquire after the illness. Mañjuśrī's etiquette of modesty was already complete; although their wisdom and virtue were proximate to one another, the etiquette of a disciple dictates that in whatever one undertakes, one always relies on the Buddha's power. Since he was sent by the Buddha, he also relied on the Buddha's empowerment, hoping that there would be no fault of error, omission, bending, or obstruction; hence he says: "I will rely on the Buddha's holy command to go there and inquire after the illness."
