維摩經略疏垂裕記 1.41

1.41

淨名杜口於毘耶，智者立言於天台。立言，撰疏也。《左傳》穆叔曰「太上有立德，其次有立功，其次有立言，此之謂不朽。」階位不同者，淨名等覺聖人也，智者五品賢人也。廣略異宜者，該乎二意：一以杜口為略、立言為廣。二以荊溪為略、智者為廣。皆赴機宜，故有斯異，論其益物其實不殊，故結云至於赴機等也。揆，度也。

Jingming kept silent in Vaiśālī; Zhizhe set down words at Tiantai. "Setting down words" means composing the commentary. In the *Zuo tradition*, Mushu said: "The highest is establishing virtue; next is establishing merit; next is establishing words: this is called immortality." "Stages and positions differ": Jingming is a sage of virtual enlightenment; Zhizhe is a worthy of the five grades. "The extensive and abridged have different suitabilities" encompasses two meanings: first, regarding keeping silent as abridged and setting down words as extensive; second, regarding Jingxi as abridged and Zhizhe as extensive. Both respond to what is suitable for the faculties, which is why there is this difference; yet when discussing their benefiting of beings, in reality they do not differ. Therefore it concludes by saying "when it comes to responding to faculties..." *Kui* means measure or principle.
