又十住毘婆沙論云。在家菩薩若見破戒之人不應生瞋輕慢之心。應生憐愍利益之心。方便勸止令生善心。苦諫不改而生誹謗。亦不得瞋妄見他過。故此賢劫中聞有菩薩。誹謗拘樓孫佛言。何有禿人而當得道。如是眾生難可得知。自作自受何預於我。若欲知彼或自傷害。籌量眾生。佛所不許。如經中說。

If, despite bitter remonstrance, he does not reform and instead slanders, one also must not become angry or falsely view the other's faults. For in this Bhadrakalpa, it is heard that there was a bodhisattva who slandered Krakucchanda Buddha, saying: 'How could a bald-headed person attain the Way?'

To measure sentient beings is not permitted by the Buddha." As it is said in a sūtra:
