大般涅槃經集解 12.12

12.12

案法瑤曰：此復是身盡，無餘涅槃也。但引佛昔譬，辭異而旨同也。明駿案：就此舉有餘無餘涅槃為難，凡有五翻：第一佛自引昔教以為今難；第二迦葉更搆兩難；第三佛答；第四結上旨；第五迦葉領解也。就第一翻中有四階：第一引昔教、第二誡迦葉、第三釋會昔旨、第四舉法常為證。此第一階引昔教。

Fayao states: "This again is the exhaustion of the body, nirvāṇa without remainder. It merely cites the Buddha's former analogy: the phrasing differs, but the purport is the same." Mingjun notes: "Regarding this citing of nirvāṇa with remainder and without remainder to formulate objections, there are five turns in all: first, the Buddha himself cites the former teachings to formulate the present objection; second, Kāśyapa constructs two further objections; third, the Buddha answers; fourth, he concludes the preceding purport; fifth, Kāśyapa grasps the understanding. Within the first turn, there are four steps: first, citing the former teachings; second, admonishing Kāśyapa; third, explaining and harmonizing the former purport; fourth, adducing the permanence of the Dharma as proof. This is the first step: citing the former teachings."
