大般涅槃經義記 3.109

3.109

喻中有四：一邪興正滅喻，喻上初段；二「爾時有一婆羅門」下四依弘化喻，喻前第二；三「是時童子雖為是事猶不失」下自行無犯喻，喻前第三；四「其餘居士、婆羅門等聞所作」下合可供養喻，喻上第四所少一段。

Within the metaphor there are four parts: first, the metaphor of the rise of the heterodox and the demise of the correct, which illustrates the first section above; second, from 'At that time, there was a certain brāhmaṇa' downward, the metaphor of the four reliances broadly propagating the transformation, which illustrates the second [section] above; third, from 'At that time, although the young man did this, he still did not lose...' downward, the metaphor that their own practice is without infraction, which illustrates the third [section] above; fourth, from 'The remaining householders, brāhmaṇas, and others, having heard what was done...' downward, the metaphor of their suitability to receive offerings, which illustrates the one section that was missing in the fourth part above.
