大般涅槃經義記 1.100

第四能中，語義不足，若具，應言是呪能令諸失心者、怖者、說者、不斷法者離諸怖畏。離畏如後持益中說，故此不舉。言「失心」者，偽中之劣，此前偽中為供誑他、為財隨他，四種人也，此等失於出離善心，故名失心。言「怖畏」者，偽中之勝，謂前偽中為怖畏也。言「說法」者，真中之勝，所謂宣說大乘經法。「不斷法」者，真中之劣，所謂不斷小乘法者，權化不絕，名不斷法。以此呪力，通護一切四部眾故，大小通舉。此四種人，呪皆能令除滅怖畏。

In the fourth [part], on [the dhāraṇī's] efficacy, the phrasing is incomplete; if complete, it should state that this dhāraṇī is able to make those who have lost their minds, those who are fearful, those who preach, and those who do not sever the Dharma, leave behind all fears. Being freed from fear is explained below in [the section on] the benefits of upholding [it], which is why it is not mentioned here. Those who 'have lost their minds' are the inferior among the false: these are the four kinds of people mentioned earlier among the false—those who act for the sake of offerings, deceiving others, material gain, or complying with others; because they have lost the wholesome mind of renunciation, they are named those who 'have lost their minds'. Those who are 'fearful' are the superior among the false, referring to those mentioned earlier among the false who act out of fear. Those who 'preach the Dharma' are the superior among the true, namely those who expound the Mahāyāna scriptures and teachings. Those who 'do not sever the Dharma' are the inferior among the true, namely those who do not sever the Hīnayāna teachings; because the provisional transformation is unceasing, they are named those who 'do not sever the Dharma'. Because the power of this dhāraṇī protects all fourfold assemblies alike, both the great and the small are mentioned together. For these four kinds of people, the dhāraṇī can cause all their fears to be eliminated.
