大般涅槃經義記 3.49

3.49

文中初別，後總結之。別中四對：第一肉眼、佛眼相對，聲聞肉眼故須佛教，菩薩佛眼不假佛教；二「如有人」下勇怯相對，聲聞怯故佛教降魔，菩薩勇健不假佛教；三「如有龍」下明其有力、無力相對，聲聞無力故須佛教，菩薩自有降魔之力，不假佛也；四「聲聞、緣覺於煩惱」下明其有畏、無畏相對，二乘之人怖畏煩惱故須佛教，菩薩無畏，不假佛教。

In the text, first there are individual [contrasts], and later a summary conclusion. In the individual [contrasts] there are four pairs: First, the contrast between the flesh eye and the buddha eye: because the śrāvaka has the flesh eye, they need the Buddha's instruction; because the bodhisattva has the buddha eye, they do not need the Buddha's instruction. Second, from 'Just as a person...' below, the contrast between bravery and cowardice: because the śrāvaka is cowardly, the Buddha instructs subjugating Māra; because the bodhisattva is brave and robust, they do not need the Buddha's instruction. Third, from 'Just as a nāga...' below, clarifying the contrast between having strength and lacking strength: because the śrāvaka lacks strength, they need the Buddha's instruction; the bodhisattva inherently has the strength to subjugate Māra, not needing the Buddha. Fourth, from 'Śrāvakas and pratyekabuddhas regarding defilements...' below, clarifying the contrast between having fear and lacking fear: because persons of the two vehicles fear defilements, they need the Buddha's instruction; the bodhisattva has no fear, not needing the Buddha's instruction.
