4.436

贊曰:此承威當往。雖然之聲,義兼德失。吉祥謙讓,云彼高德,我非彼敵,此我失也。我德不當,承威當往,此佛德也。故言雖然。餘意可知。

Commentary: This is relying on majestic power to proceed. The phrase "nonetheless" implies both virtue and defect. Mañjuśrī is humble and deferential, saying that the other possesses lofty virtue while he himself is no match for him; this is his own "defect." My virtue is inadequate, but relying on [the Buddha's] majestic power I shall proceed; this is the Buddha's virtue. Therefore he says "nonetheless." The remaining meaning can be known.
