大般涅槃經集解 64.18

64.18

案僧亮曰：般涅此言無，亦言不。槃者言生，亦言出也。胡音多含，皆是出生死之名，亦是出生死之義，一名一義也。僧宗曰：一名者，取其無果之名，而種種不同也。道慧記曰：涅槃是一名，涅槃體是一名之法也。更就涅槃體上作種種名，故言於一名法說無量名也。智秀曰：捉一名以取法，隨此名法有無量義相說無量名，非謂一名作無量名也。

Sengliang comments: "Parinir" here means "non-" or "not". "Vāṇa" means "arising" or "emerging". The Central Asian sounds contain many meanings; they are all names for emerging from birth and death, and also the meaning of emerging from birth and death: a single name and a single meaning. Sengzong says: "A single name" takes the name of having no result, yet it is variously differentiated. Daohui's records state: Nirvāṇa is a single name; the substance of nirvāṇa is the phenomenon of that single name. Creating various names based on the substance of nirvāṇa is why it is said that for a single named phenomenon, immeasurable names are spoken. Zhixiu says: Grasping a single name to apprehend the phenomenon, one speaks immeasurable names in accordance with the immeasurable aspects of meaning of this named phenomenon; it does not mean that a single name itself creates immeasurable names.
