12.71
難曰。若以功深惠重必略其謝。則釋迦之德。為是深耶為是淺耶。若淺耶不宜以小道而亂大倫。若深耶豈得彼肅其恭而此弛其敬哉。
You objected: 'If, because merit is profound and benevolence heavy, one must dispense with gratitude, then as for the virtue of Śākya, is it profound or is it shallow? If it is shallow, one ought not to disrupt the great human relationships with a minor path. If it is profound, how could one show austere reverence to him while severing one's reverence toward this [sovereign]?'
