大般涅槃經集解 5.104

5.104

案僧亮曰：純陀昔願最後設供，申述常住，言理已顯，不滅現滅、不食現食，其粗周矣。今文殊先發，然後口告也。法瑤曰：前文殊催純陀設供，為純陀所訶，似若文殊前言為虛，是則丈六之身復都不受人施也。時會之供，便為空設，不遂素心。是故放光照文殊身，以證文殊向言不虛，故宜催也。僧宗曰：請門第九催供也。上來顯常拂迹既畢，物情不復滯迹也。雖食而知不食，故重放光，表迹必去也。道慧記曰：純陀向請住，而文殊傍論，事既已竟，今放此光以詶其意也。既不許其請住，所以因光而催供也。慧朗述僧宗曰：從此下訖瑠璃珠譬，為下根開常住因果宗也。

Sengliang comments: Cunda's past vow was to provide the final offering and proclaim eternal presence. The principle having already been made manifest, his manifesting extinction while not being extinct, and manifesting eating while not eating, have broadly reached completion. Now Mañjuśrī initiates it first, and only then does the Buddha tell him verbally. Fayao comments: Previously, Mañjuśrī prompted Cunda to prepare the offering and was scolded by Cunda, making it seem as if Mañjuśrī's previous words were empty, which would mean that the sixteen-foot body also does not accept people's donations at all. The offerings of the assembly at that time would have been made in vain, failing to fulfill their original intent. Therefore, [the Buddha] emitted light that illuminated Mañjuśrī's body to verify that Mañjuśrī's earlier words were not empty, and thus it was appropriate to prompt him. Sengzong comments: The ninth [section] of the request gate, prompting the offering. As revealing the permanent and brushing away the traces have already been completed above, the minds of living beings will no longer stagnate in traces. Even while eating, they know he does not eat; thus he emits light again to express that the traces must depart. Daohui notes: Cunda earlier requested him to remain, and Mañjuśrī engaged in collateral discussion. The matter being finished, [the Buddha] now emits this light to respond to his intention. Since he does not permit him to request his remaining, he therefore uses the light to prompt the offering. Huilang, recounting Sengzong, comments: From here below down to the analogy of the lapis lazuli jewel, he opens the doctrine of cause and fruit of eternal presence for those of lower faculties.
