18.27
系曰:慧昭既三百年住世也,前不可測,後未可涯,與夫賓頭羅睺尊者一貫,胡不念恩地之裔孫邪?通曰:「神仙隔一塵,猶未可與之遊。且廣是具縛凡夫,昭為度世上士,飛鳶與淵魚,蹤跡相遠,此何怪歟?」
The appraisal says: Since Huizhao lived in the world for three hundred years, his beginnings cannot be fathomed, and his end cannot be bounded; he was of a kind with the Venerable Piṇḍola-bhāradvāja. Why would he not remember the descendant of his benefactor? In response, it is said: "If immortals are separated [from mortals] by even a speck of dust, one still cannot wander with them. Moreover, Guang was an ordinary mortal bound by fetters, while Zhao was a superior person who had crossed over the world. The soaring kite and the fish in the deep abyss are far apart in their traces—why should this be strange?"
