維摩經略疏 5.37

5.37

"Therefore, I am not competent to go there and inquire after his illness": fourth, concluding his lack of competence. Kātyāyana reflected on how in the past he had broadly explained the five meanings to the monks, was rebuked by Vimalakīrti, and remained silent without an answer. How could he be competent to convey the [Buddha's] command? Thus he declined as incompetent.
