維摩經略疏垂裕記 5.43

5.43

二、莊嚴四榮，二：初、明垂迹調機。文中具明四味調機。始、鹿苑。「悉來歸命」者，舍利、目連、三迦葉等受習四枯者，稟三藏證小果也。「學徒風靡」者，如舍利、目連共二百五十人弟子等。靡，偃也。咸順佛化，如草加於風皆偃伏也。「過是」下，次、方等。「皆恥小慕大」者，意兼二酥。「開佛」下，《法華》、《涅槃》也。「皆由至佛事」者，荊溪云：明諸弟子具經半滿，皆為成熟輔翼法王，故今具歷一代教法。「眾生至開佛知見」者，意指《法華》入祕密藏，即是《大經》中間涅槃，意明二經大旨同故。

Second, adorning the four blooming [trees], which has two parts: first, explaining descending traces to tune capacities. The text fully explains the four flavors tuning capacities. First, the Deer Park. "All came to take refuge": Śāriputra, Maudgalyāyana, the three Kāśyapas, and others who received and practiced the four withered [trees] were those who received the Tripiṭaka and realized the small fruit. "Disciples bowed like grass before the wind": like Śāriputra and Maudgalyāyana together with their two hundred and fifty disciples, and so forth. *Mi* means to fall flat. All conformed to the Buddha's transformation, just as grass all bends when wind is applied to it. From "Passing beyond this" onward, next, Fangdeng. "All felt ashamed of the small and longed for the great": this intention encompasses the two curd [flavors]. From "Opening the Buddha's" onward, the *Lotus Sūtra* and *Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra*. "All because of reaching the Buddha's work": Jingxi says: "This clarifies that the various disciples fully underwent both the half-word and full-word teachings, all to mature and assist the Dharma King; hence now they fully passed through the teachings of his entire lifetime." "Sentient beings […] to opening the Buddha's knowledge and vision": this points to entering the secret treasury in the *Lotus Sūtra*, which is precisely the nirvāṇa in the middle in the *Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra*, intending to show that the grand purports of the two sūtras are identical.
