大般涅槃經義記 2.151

2.151

初中「大者名之為常」，依於大名，辯其大德。此經具有六義釋大已如上辯，今此且以常義顯之。「如八河」下，依涅槃名辯涅槃德，先喻、後合。「此經如是降伏一切諸結煩惱及諸魔性」，破相趣寂，此經所辯同前八河，故曰如是。降伏煩惱，離煩惱魔及諸魔性，滅餘三魔。「然後要於大般涅槃放捨身命」，證實捨相，證實除妄，無妄可在，是故云捨。「名大涅槃」，總以結之。

In the first, “’Great’ is called permanence”: relying on the name “Great,” he distinguishes its great virtue. This sūtra possesses six meanings explaining “great,” as distinguished above; here it is temporarily revealed through the meaning of permanence. From “like the eight rivers” downward, relying on the name “nirvāṇa,” he distinguishes the virtues of nirvāṇa, first through an analogy and then applying it. “This sūtra is like this in subduing all knots of affliction and all māra-natures”: breaking marks to proceed toward stillness, what this sūtra distinguishes is the same as the preceding eight rivers, hence it is said to be “like this.” Subduing afflictions means departing from the māra of afflictions and all māra-natures, and extinguishing the other three māras. “Then, one must cast off bodily life in the Mahāparinirvāṇa”: realizing the real and casting off marks; realizing the real eliminates delusion, so that no delusion remains, and thus it is called casting off. “It is named the Mahāparinirvāṇa” generally concludes it.
