維摩經略疏 6.33

6.33

From 'Prabhāvyūha' down is, second, his respectfully declining as unworthy. The text has four parts: first, respectfully declining as unworthy; second, recounting the reasons for being unworthy; third, directly setting forth his being rebuked; and fourth, concluding on his unworthiness. As for the first passage, it is precisely because in the past when asked about the meaning of the bodhimaṇḍa he did not know how to reply, and is therefore unworthy to convey the command and go inquire after the illness.
