維摩經略疏垂裕記 6.6

6.6

Third, bowing in respect. Jingxi says: The sūtra says 'this householder has renown': "this" means here; it refers to a layman. The sūtra says 'From that time on, I,' etc.: he was ashamed of the small. Therefore we know that at that time, although admiring it, he could not take it; at this time, although ashamed of it, he could not abandon it. Thus there was only covert support and no overt benefit. Directly using reproach can also attain the name of overt; looking at the intention of the reproach, it is therefore called covert.
