妙法蓮華經玄贊 7.69

7.69

贊曰：下第三有十頌半頌第二自得涅槃謂已滿足故不悕。中分二：初二頌標自滿不悕，後八頌半釋。此初也。「內滅」者謂內自身滅諸煩惱、證得涅槃，唯能了此以為究竟，更無自餘外利他事，故不欣大。

Commentary: Below, the third [section] has ten and a half verses summarizing the second: having personally attained nirvāṇa, we deemed it already satisfactory, hence we did not aspire. Within this there are two parts: first, two verses state the lack of aspiration due to self-satisfaction; later, eight and a half verses explain it. This is the first. 'Internal extinction' means that within one's own body one extinguishes all defilements and realizes nirvāṇa; only being able to understand this, one took it to be the ultimate, having no further external matters of benefiting others besides this; therefore, we did not take joy in the Great.
