維摩經義記卷第四 4.6

4.6

The fourth subsection, from 'He manifests entering into māras' onward up to 'without severing saṃsāra', clarifies practicing the non-path in terms of [...] various karmic retributions. 'He manifests entering into māras yet follows the wisdom of the Buddha and does not follow other teachings' intends to clarify that the bodhisattva outwardly conforms to the hordes of māras, while inwardly according with correct wisdom and not following the teachings of māras. The subsequent [phrases] can be understood by analogy. 'He manifests universally entering all destinies' is because karmic retributions cannot be exhaustively spoken of, so it summarizes the karmic retributions to conclude them. 'He manifests nirvāṇa'—because nirvāṇa lies outside of karmic retributions, it is brought out separately. 'Mañjuśrī, a bodhisattva who can do this...' onward summarizes and concludes the meaning of practicing the non-path to penetrate the Buddha path.
