維摩經略疏垂裕記 7.96

7.96

Second, from "therefore" below, explaining at length, in two: first, clarifying the basis and circumstances for the deva king requesting the Dharma. Second, from "Maitreya" below, clarifying Maitreya expounding non-retrogression for him, in two: first, recounting the intent. Jingxi says: As for "Maitreya expounds for him," etc., it is fully in the text of the commentary and has already been explained in detail. Now I personally offer a supplementary explanation. Generally, those who receive prediction are mostly in [the stage of] non-retrogression; having obtained prediction oneself and again speaking it for others, he therefore expounded the stage of obtaining prediction for the devaputra, and because of benevolence he was reproached by the Mahāsattva. Although the prediction was reproached, it was not that non-retrogression was reproached; applying reproach to bestowing prediction is reproaching non-retrogression.
