大般涅槃經集解 5.52

5.52

案道生曰：懷耶嫉正，必以害加人，譬之河也。執真解而不顧險者，喻抱兒而度也。僧亮曰：已得有為修慧而無為修慧未得，而無常難度，譬之恒河也。曇濟曰：河譬非常師教也。抱兒者，譬執思慧解也。僧宗曰：河譬小乘國也。外國法，若有異執，乃至不共一河飲水。今譬趣他國者，事須經河。而通法大士懷常解而求佛，亦宜權化異執也。

Daosheng comments: Harboring crookedness and envying the upright, one will certainly inflict harm on others, which is allegorized as the river. Holding fast to true understanding without regarding danger is allegorized as holding the child to cross over. Sengliang says: Having already attained the conditioned wisdom of cultivation while the unconditioned wisdom of cultivation is not yet attained, impermanence is difficult to cross, which is allegorized as the Ganges River. Tanji says: The river allegorizes the teachings of teachers of impermanence. Holding the child allegorizes holding fast to the understanding of the wisdom of reflection. Sengzong says: The river allegorizes the country of the Hīnayāna. According to the customs of foreign lands, if there are differing beliefs, they will not even drink water together from the same river. Here it allegorizes that one heading to another country must necessarily cross a river. And the great being who penetrates the Dharma, harboring the understanding of permanence and seeking buddhahood, should also expediently transform differing attachments.
