疏「一釋名」者，若具，梵云摩訶般涅槃那，具翻為大圓寂入，謂那即入義應迴在上。言「正名為滅」者，取其義類。「乃有多方」者，即生公釋，遠公同此。言多方者，或云不生、或云無作、或云無起，亦云無為、亦云無相，或云不滅、或云寂靜、或曰安隱、或名解脫，皆是義翻。《法華．序品》長行之中，便於中夜入無餘涅槃，次即云「佛滅度」，後偈中又云「佛此夜滅度」，明知古德正翻為滅，亦云滅度，超度四流故。

> In the commentary, as for "First, explaining the name": if fully stated, the Sanskrit is \*mahāparinirvāṇa\*, which translated in full means "great entering into complete quiescence," meaning that \*ṇa\* signifies entering, which should be repositioned at the beginning. The phrase "Its primary name is extinction (\*mie\*)" takes its semantic category. "There are many ways \[of expressing it\]" is Master Sheng's explanation, and Master Yuan agrees with this. As for "many ways": some say non-arising (\*asamuṭpāda\*), some say unmade (\*akṛta\*), some say non-originating, others say unconditioned (\*asaṃskṛta\*), others say signless (\*animitta\*), some say non-extinction, some say tranquil quiescence, some say peace and security, and some name it liberation (\*vimokṣa\*); these are all translations by meaning. In the prose section of the "Introductory Chapter" of the Lotus Sūtra, \[it says:\] "thereupon at midnight he entered nirvāṇa without residue," and right next it says: "the Buddha passed into extinction (\*miedu\*)"; later in the verse it also says: "The Buddha this night passed into extinction." Thus one clearly knows that the ancient masters primarily translated it as extinction (\*mie\*), or also called it passing into extinction (\*miedu\*), because it crosses beyond the four floods.
