That nirvāṇa is named vimokṣa: in the past, nirvāṇa was spoken of as the vimokṣa among the three factors; now he rectifies its name. Sengzong's Jingyi ji says: The wondrous essence of perfect virtue resides beyond the myriad entanglements, and is therefore called vimokṣa. Nirvāṇa is a word of that country; interpreting its meaning there would have different expressions, while here 'vimokṣa' is the name translating and explaining its meaning. In the past it was called solitary-extinction vimokṣa. The reason it was called nirvāṇa was that body and cognition were regarded as entanglements, so extinguishing entanglements was taken to be vimokṣa. Zhixiu says: Below there are three turns: first, setting forth the essence; second, the Buddha revealing its intent through metaphors; third, revealing the similarities and differences between the metaphor and what is illustrated. Because the past discernment of vimokṣa held that both body and cognition are non-existent, it improperly covered the fruit of buddhahood. Therefore, this first turn rectifies the name of vimokṣa. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 13.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.13.39) - [Next: 13.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.13.41) - [Up: 13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.13) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763~en-mt.13.40) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.13.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.13.40) · Pramāṇa
