淨名經集解關中疏 2.401

2.401

Ānanda said to the Buddha: "From this day forward, I dare not consider myself to be foremost in learning." This third part shows Ānanda subduing his fault so as to stimulate and encourage. The text has four parts; this is the first, Ānanda submitting. Sengzhao says: "Ānanda was foremost in learning among the five hundred disciples. Now, hearing of the Buddha's work, he examines himself as to whether he is fit to be called learned."
