大般涅槃經集解 4.83

4.83

案僧亮曰：初四偈半，別相自慶，內得人身、外值佛世，超六道也。次四偈，總相釋己所以得成檀度者，以外值彼度世之師、內發正願故也。次兩偈，為歡喜作譬也。次一偈，說天人歸命於己，結所以可慶也。寶亮曰：初四行半，慶離六道生死；次二行，慶難值而值；次二行，發願也；次三行，敘所喜事也。

Sengliang comments: The first four and a half stanzas rejoice individually in his own fortune, having internally obtained a human body and externally encountered the Buddha's era, transcending the six paths. The next four stanzas generally explain the reason why he was able to accomplish the perfection of generosity: because externally he encountered that master who crosses the world over, and internally he brought forth correct vows. The next two stanzas provide similes for his joy. The next stanza speaks of gods and humans taking refuge in him, concluding the reason for his congratulation. Baoliang says: The first four and a half lines rejoice in leaving behind birth and death in the six paths; the next two lines rejoice in encountering what is difficult to encounter; the next two lines make vows; the next three lines narrate the matter of his joy.
