大般涅槃經集解 13.26

13.26

案僧亮曰：證無藏也。亦欲以下況上，明二乘尚無，況如來也。僧宗曰：前偈證有餘涅槃，此偈證無餘涅槃也。雖復合牽一偈，意在下半偈耳。迹不可尋者，身智俱亡也。此亦昔言，故應拂也。下釋云：近於菩提。菩提涅槃，無有方所，事絕近情，謂難尋也。偈旨如此，誰能解耶？

Sengliang notes: This verifies that there is no concealment. It is also intended to use what is inferior to illustrate what is superior, clarifying that the two vehicles still do not have it, let alone the Tathāgata. Sengzong says: The preceding verse verifies nirvāṇa with remainder, while this verse verifies nirvāṇa without remainder. Although it adduces a single verse as a whole, the intent lies merely in the latter half of the verse. That 'his traces cannot be tracked' means that both body and cognition are extinguished. This was also spoken in the past, so it must now be brushed away. Below it is explained: 'He is close to bodhi.' Bodhi and nirvāṇa have no location; the matter transcends worldly feelings, so it is said to be 'difficult to track.' The verse's meaning is like this: who could understand it?
