金剛般若經疏 1.21

1.21

經。於其城中次第乞已　演曰。第三不平等有七。一由內證平等理故。二外示現貧富貴賤等相故。三內心離貪慢故。不貪美好不慢麁鄙。四慈悲普等無偏理故。五表大威神不懼惡象沽酒女等家故。六息外猜嫌。若有所簡外道惡人。謂佛受僧有所親疎便生猜毀。七破二乘故。即降迦葉善見貧富之偏。

Sūtra: Having begged sequentially within that city,
Commentary: The second [point is to show equality; the text mistakenly says "third non-equality"], which has seven reasons: 1. because inwardly he realizes the principle of equality; 2. because outwardly he manifests the equal appearance of rich, poor, noble, and base; 3. because his inner mind is free from greed and pride: not craving the fine and good, nor looking down upon the coarse and base; 4. because his loving-kindness and compassion are universally equal without partiality; 5. to display great majestic power, not fearing rogue elephants, houses of tavern women, and the like; 6. to halt external suspicion and doubt: if there were selection, non-Buddhists and evil people would say the Buddha and the Saṃgha have intimacy and distance, and would produce suspicion and slander; 7. to refute the two vehicles, namely subduing the biases of Kāśyapa and Subhūti toward the poor or the rich.
