大般涅槃經義記 3.134

3.134

第三段中，文別有四：一勸供養、二「以是緣」下結會上言、三「如彼」下舉喻以帖、四「善哉」下約喻顯法。就初段中，「爾時菩薩」舉所勸人，此乃名彼能供之人以為菩薩，聲聞人中學大乘者是能供人。「若見有人雖多犯」者舉所供人，「即往」已下正勸供養，「恭敬禮拜」明身供養，「四事」已下明財供養。財供有三：一自有奉上、二自無求與、三「為是」下明為供故得畜八種不淨之物。於中四句：一明得畜八不淨物。何等為八？如彼《善生優婆塞經》具列其名：一畜田宅；二種殖根栽；三貯聚稻粟，居監求利；四畜奴婢人民；五畜養群畜；六畜金銀錢寶；七畜象牙、金、銀刻鏤諸寶、大床、綿褥、𣰽𣯫；八畜一切銅錢釜鑊。畜此八種能污淨戒，故名不淨。二「何以」下釋。三「爾時」下明畜無罪。四「何以」下釋。

In the third section, the text has four parts: first, exhorting making offerings; second, from 'For this reason' onward, concluding and reconciling with the previous words; third, from 'Like that...' onward, adducing an analogy to match [the meaning]; fourth, from 'Excellent!' onward, revealing the Dharma by means of the analogy. In the first part, 'At that time the bodhisattva...' adduces the person being exhorted: this refers to the person capable of making offerings as a 'bodhisattva'; among śrāvakas, those who study the Mahāyāna are the ones capable of making offerings. 'If one sees someone who, though having many transgressions...' adduces the recipient of offerings. From 'immediately goes...' onward directly exhorts making offerings. 'Respectfully pays homage' clarifies bodily offering. From 'the four requisites' onward clarifies material offering. Material offering has three aspects: first, offering what one possesses oneself; second, seeking [provisions] to give when one has none oneself; third, from 'for this sake' onward, clarifying that for the sake of making offerings, one is permitted to keep the eight kinds of impure things. There are four clauses therein: first, clarifying that one may keep the eight impure things. What are the eight? As fully listed by name in that Upāsakaśīla Sūtra: first, keeping fields and houses; second, planting roots and trees; third, storing and hoarding rice and grain, and overseeing for profit; fourth, keeping male and female slaves and people; fifth, keeping and raising various livestock; sixth, keeping gold, silver, money, and jewels; seventh, keeping ivory, engraved gems of gold and silver, large beds, cotton mattresses, and woolen rugs; eighth, keeping all copper coins, pots, and cauldrons. Keeping these eight kinds can defile pure precepts, hence they are called 'impure.' Second, from 'Why is this?' onward explains it. Third, from 'At that time...' onward clarifies that keeping them is without fault. Fourth, from 'Why is this?' onward explains it.
