般若波羅蜜多心經贊 1.75

1.75

問：「若聲聞等有無餘依，如何有處說彼非有（如《勝鬘》等）？」答：「有處說彼都無涅槃，豈有餘依彼亦非有（此亦《勝》等）？然聲聞等身、智在時，有所知障，苦依未盡，圓寂義隱，說無涅槃，非彼實無。煩惱障盡所顯真理，有餘涅槃，爾時未證無餘圓寂，故亦說彼無無餘依，非彼後時滅身、智已無苦依盡無餘涅槃。廣說如彼。」

Question: "If śrāvakas and others have [nirvāṇa] without residue, why do some places say they do not have it (as in the Śrīmālādevī-sūtra and elsewhere)?" Answer: "Some places say they have no nirvāṇa at all; how could they lack even [nirvāṇa] with residue (this is also in the Śrīmālādevī-sūtra and elsewhere)? However, while the body and wisdom of śrāvakas and others remain, they possess the cognitive obstacle and the substratum of suffering is not yet exhausted; the meaning of perfect tranquility is concealed, so it is said they have no nirvāṇa, not that they truly lack it. When the affliction obstacle is exhausted, the manifested true principle is nirvāṇa with residue; at that time, they have not yet realized perfect tranquility without residue, hence it is also said they lack [nirvāṇa] without residue, not that later, when their body and wisdom have ceased, they lack the nirvāṇa without residue in which the substratum of suffering is exhausted. This is explained extensively therein."
