說無垢稱經疏 4.88

Question: Why did Vimalakīrti reprimand him and tell him to leave secretly, while the sky told him to fetch the milk? Answer: Saying that the Buddha has a real illness and needs milk is inappropriate, hence [Vimalakīrti] told him to leave. Saying that the Buddha manifests an illness and therefore needs milk is logically acceptable, hence [the voice] told him to fetch it. Reprimanding the dharma, he first reprimanded him to make him leave; revealing the dharma, he later showed him that he should fetch it; thus there is no contradiction.
