維摩經略疏 7.136

7.136

「又迦葉至之門」，二、明住不思議菩薩能成就行人。諸稟方便及圓初學行檀等六度，住不思議菩薩多來試之令其堅固。如《法華》明釋迦因地恒為調達所成，若小菩薩則不能爾。即以譬顯，開譬合譬如文可解。

From "Moreover, Kāśyapa" to "the gate of" is the second [part]: explaining that bodhisattvas abiding in the inconceivable can bring practitioners to accomplishment. When those who follow the expedient and the beginners in the perfect [teaching] practice the six perfections such as giving, bodhisattvas abiding in the inconceivable often come to test them to make them firm. Just as the *Lotus Sūtra* explains that Śākyamuni on the causal ground was constantly brought to accomplishment by Devadatta, small bodhisattvas cannot do this. This is then revealed by means of analogies; the presentation of the analogy and the application of the analogy can be understood from the text.
