下次就佛辯迹難尋,先舉偈文,釋有四句:一直辯出難尋法體,所謂涅槃;二「無日月」下明難尋相,離一切相故不可尋;三彰涅槃是如來處,常存不變,欲就此處開解脫德,故說為處;四明佛趣入,以是涅槃是如來處,故今至此而般涅槃。

Next, he differentiates that tracks are difficult to seek with respect to the Buddha. First citing the text of the verse, the explanation has four lines: first, directly identifying the essence of the dharma that is difficult to seek, namely nirvāṇa; second, from "without sun or moon" onward, clarifying the characteristics of being difficult to seek—because it is free from all marks, it cannot be sought; third, revealing that nirvāṇa is the Tathāgata's abode, eternally abiding and unchanging—wishing to unfold the virtues of liberation with respect to this abode, it is therefore spoken of as an abode; fourth, clarifying the Buddha's entry into it—because this nirvāṇa is the Tathāgata's abode, he therefore now arrives here and enters parinirvāṇa.
