維摩經略疏 4.88

4.88

From "At that time, I … up to pratyekabuddha practice" is the third [section], recounting in consultation his past feelings of veneration and submission upon hearing this rebuke. When Kāśyapa heard Vimalakīrti's various rebukes and his showing of the method of true eating, since it was something he had not heard in the past, he gave rise to a mind of veneration toward the bodhisattva in every respect. Reflecting that he himself lacked this, his mind inwardly submitted to the teaching of the four withering [trees], which is precisely the manifestation of the Tathāgata's teaching of the four blooming [trees].
