大般涅槃經集解 49.10

49.10

案僧亮曰：前說人實、後說法實，合海譬也。河城等皆合也。十譬之中，唯不合地及天中天二譬也。

Sengliang comments: First speaking of the reality of the person and later speaking of the reality of the dharma matches the ocean metaphor. Rivers, citadels, and the like are all matched. Among the ten metaphors, only the two metaphors of the earth and the god among gods are not matched.
