述曰。瓔珞言。舍利弗被訶之後。心漸向大。然猶有怨佛之言。以為若無三乘則我等已成正覺。皆如來咎非我等過。逮至法華法說周。則云我等同入法性。云何如來以小乘法而見濟度。是我等咎非世尊也。是知瓔珞不解方便則咎佛。法華已入法性則咎己。
The commentary says: The Yingluo jing states that after Śāriputra was rebuked, his mind gradually turned toward the Mahāyāna, yet he still harbored words of resentment toward the Buddha, believing that if there were no three vehicles they would already have achieved sambodhi, and that it was all the Tathāgata's fault and not their error. When it came to the Lotus Sūtra's cycle of Dharma teaching, he said: 'We together entered into the Dharma-nature; why did the Tathāgata deliver us through the Hinayāna teachings? This is our own fault, not the Bhagavat's.' From this we know that in the Yingluo jing, not understanding expedient means, he blamed the Buddha; while in the Lotus Sūtra, having already entered the Dharma-nature, he blamed himself.
