大般涅槃經集解 43.44

43.44

案僧宗曰：此下第六說譬以慰王，勸令去。寶亮曰：為闡提說法，凡有三意，如醫治病人：一為除現苦、二遣眷屬橫苦、三息外人誹謗。合譬如此，可知也。

Sengzong says: From here down is the sixth [part], speaking an analogy to comfort the king and urge him to go. Baoliang says: Preaching the Dharma for icchantikas has three intentions in total, like a physician treating a sick person: first, to remove present suffering; second, to dispel the accidental suffering of relatives; third, to put an end to outsiders' slander. The application of the analogy is like this, as can be known.
