大般涅槃經集解 57.36

57.36

案僧亮曰：以明譬眾生，後以眾生譬燈。即以明為燈，油是生因。今煩惱是眾生成因，竟以何為譬耳？寶亮曰：師子吼還更執明燈之與油二物各異，若言眾生即縛者，此非譬也。

Sengliang comments: Light was used as an analogy for sentient beings, and later sentient beings were compared to a lamp. That is, light is the lamp, and oil is the cause of arising. Now, affliction is the cause of the sentient being's formation; in the end, what is used as an analogy for what? Baoliang says: Siṃhanāda again clings to the lamp's light and the oil being two distinct objects; if one says that the sentient being is the bondage itself, then this is not an analogy.
