大般涅槃經義記 1.233

1.233

上來第一對其影響明菩提報常，自下第二對其所為明涅槃法常。於中，初先動地為由；「時天龍」下，比丘哀請如來為說。前中有三：一正明地動、二「動有二」下汎明地動大小差別、三「從兜率」下明動所為。就初段中，「其去未久」，明地動時。「是時大地六種動」者，正明地動。地動有六，如《地經》說：一動、二涌、三起、四振、五覺、六吼。「乃至梵世」，明動分齊。第二段中，先舉二數，次列兩名。或有地動是小動也、或大地動是大動也。依如《地經》，動別有三，謂動、遍動、等遍動也。一處動者直名為動、前後次第周遍動者名為遍動、一時遍動名等遍動。今攝為二：初直動者名之為小，遍及等遍說之為大。下廣辨之，句別有五：第一就動以辨大小，動如車掉；第二就吼，地中出聲；三就振起，振則下去，起如麵起；第四就涌，涌如泉沸；第五就覺，令人覺知。文相可解，此集經者所分別耳。

The first section above, with respect to its resonance and influence, explained the permanence of the retribution of bodhi; the second section from here below, with respect to what was done, explains the permanence of the dharma of nirvāṇa. Within this, first the shaking of the earth serves as the cause; from 'Then gods, dragons' onward, the bhikṣus sorrowfully entreat the Tathāgata to speak for them. In the former part there are three divisions: first, formally explaining the shaking of the earth; second, from 'There are two [types of] shaking' onward, generally explaining the distinction between great and small earth tremors; third, from 'From Tuṣita' onward, explaining the purposes of the shaking. Within the first division, 'Not long after he had left' clarifies the time of the earth's shaking. 'At that time the great earth shook in six ways' formally clarifies the shaking of the earth. The shaking of the earth has six modes, as taught in the Daśabhūmika Sūtra: first, moving; second, welling up; third, rising; fourth, trembling; fifth, being felt; sixth, roaring. 'Up to the realm of Brahmā' clarifies the extent of the shaking. Within the second division, it first brings up the number two, and next lists the two names. Either there is a shaking of the earth that is a small shaking, or a great shaking of the earth that is a great shaking. Relying on the Daśabhūmika Sūtra, shaking has three varieties: namely, shaking, pervasive shaking, and universally pervasive shaking. Shaking in one place is simply called shaking; shaking sequentially all around is called pervasive shaking; shaking everywhere simultaneously is called universally pervasive shaking. Here they are subsumed into two: the initial simple shaking is called small, while the pervasive and universally pervasive are called great. Below, it is distinguished extensively, with five distinct phrases: first, distinguishing great and small with respect to movement, moving like a cart swaying; second, with respect to roaring, sound emerging from within the earth; third, with respect to trembling and rising—trembling is sinking downward, and rising is like dough rising; fourth, with respect to welling up, welling up like a bubbling spring; fifth, with respect to being felt, causing people to perceive and be aware. The phrasing of the text is intelligible; these are simply the distinctions made by the compiler of the sūtra.
