大般涅槃經集解 68.100

案僧亮曰：聖人諸陰是煩惱果。若斷果，不應有聖也。因中說果者，凡言斷報因，名斷報耳，是名因中說果。無漏非報因，不在斷中。我從心身者，定是心，梵天是定報。定能得身，名定為身。無有無漏果報者，無苦樂報。更不生漏者，不生漏即是涅槃，無法可斷。

Sengliang comments: The various aggregates of the sages are the fruits of afflictions. If the fruits were severed, there should be no sages. As for 'speaking of the fruit within the cause', whenever one speaks of severing the cause of retribution, it is merely called severing retribution; this is called speaking of the fruit within the cause. The uncontaminated is not a cause of retribution, so it is not included in what is severed. As for 'I, from the body of mind', meditative concentration is mind, and the Brahmā world is the retribution of meditative concentration. Meditative concentration is able to obtain the body, so meditative concentration is called the body. As for 'there is no uncontaminated fruit or retribution', there is no retribution of pain or pleasure. As for 'never again generating outflows', not generating outflows is nirvāṇa itself; there is no dharma that can be severed.
