Second, declining as unworthy, in two parts: first, division into headings; second, the sequential explanation, in four parts: first, respectfully declining as unworthy; second, stating the reason for being unworthy, in two parts: first, explaining the intention and dividing the headings; second, directly explaining according to the text, in five parts: first, dwelling in a quiet room; second, Māra coming disguised as Śakra. As for the sūtra saying "at that time, the Demon Pāpīyas": [Seng]zhao says, "Pāpīyas, in the language of Qin, is called either 'the killer' or 'the exceedingly evil.' Because he severs people's roots of goodness, he is called the killer. Because there is no crime greater than defying the Buddha and disrupting the Saṃgha, he is called exceedingly evil." As for "stringed instruments and singing" in the sūtra: the commentary on the *Rites of Zhou* states, "'Strings' refers to zithers." The commentary on the *Classic of Poetry* states, "'Singing' refers to vocalizing in harmony with music." The *Analects* says, "When the Master went to Wucheng, he heard the sound of stringed instruments and singing"—this is it. The Commentary divides this into two: first, a brief explanation. Regarding "having already attained the holy path": having attained the first fruit. In terms of the Great Vehicle, it refers to a bodhisattva of the second stage.
