大般涅槃經義記 1.226

1.226

自下第三明應有滅。文別有四：一純陀請、二如來答、三純陀領解、四如來述讚。初中有二：一對前如來莫啼之言，明佛不住，悲啼難止；二「唯願」已下，對上如來勸觀有為，請佛哀憐為我久住。請意如何？雖知如來自厭有為，願佛憐我，為我等故久住於世。又復我等有斯五過，未能捨離，願佛慈憐，久住於世，教我捨離。

From here down, the third [part] explains that the responsive undergoes cessation. The text is divided into four: 1. Cunda's entreaty; 2. The Tathāgata's reply; 3. Cunda's grasp and understanding; 4. The Tathāgata's praise and affirmation. Within the first there are two parts: 1. In response to the Tathāgata's previous words 'do not weep', he explains that since the Buddha will not remain, his sorrowful weeping is difficult to stop; 2. From "I only pray..." downward, in response to the Tathāgata's advice above to contemplate the conditioned, he requests the Buddha out of pity to remain long for our sake. What is the intention of the entreaty? Although knowing that the Tathāgata himself is weary of the conditioned, he prays that the Buddha will pity us and remain long in the world for the sake of ourselves and others. Furthermore, we possess these five faults and have not yet been able to abandon them; we pray that the Buddha in his loving pity will remain long in the world to teach us to abandon them.
