維摩經略疏垂裕記 2.138

2.138

二、「又若」下，約位簡顯近義，二：初、約下位非近。二、「金」下，顯等覺是近，二：初、直約圓教。二、「若」下，傳約四教。前三教金心菩薩，望當教果，約佛約理俱得名近，望圓俱遠。秖如別教金心方斷一十一品，所未斷者尚多，安得名近？四教約惑傳傳比之，下疏自論，故云可知。

Second, from "Furthermore, if" downward distinguishes and reveals the meaning of "near" in terms of stages, divided into two: first, in terms of the lower stages, it is not near. Second, from "Vajra-" downward reveals that equal enlightenment is near, which has two parts: first, directly in terms of the Perfect Teaching. Second, from "If" downward, successively in terms of the four teachings. When the vajra-mind bodhisattvas of the previous three teachings look toward the fruit of their own respective teachings, both in terms of Buddha and in terms of principle they may be called "near," yet looking toward the Perfect [Teaching] they are all far. For instance, the vajra-mind of the Separate Teaching has just severed eleven grades [of ignorance], and what has not yet been severed is still much; how could it be called "near"? Comparing them successively across the four teachings in terms of afflictions, the commentary below discusses it itself, hence it says "it can be known."
