大般涅槃經義記 3.68

3.68

合中，依前次第合之。「涅槃如是」合上初段。「鈍根薄福不樂聞」者反合第二，然上喻中舉彼福人貪樂愛著顯經殊勝，合中舉其鈍根薄福不樂聽聞顯經深重，言之左右。「如彼薄福增惡」已下合第三段，先牒、後合。「或有眾生其心甘」下合第四段，先合、後帖。

In the application, it applies them according to the preceding order. "Nirvāṇa is like this" corresponds to the first passage above. "Those of dull faculties and meager blessings do not delight in hearing it" corresponds inversely to the second; however, whereas the analogy above adduced that person of merit coveting and becoming attached to it to reveal the sūtra's pre-eminence, the application adduces those of dull faculties and meager blessings not delighting in listening to it to reveal the sūtra's profound gravity, which are two sides of the same matter. From "Just as that person of meager blessings increases in evil" onward corresponds to the third passage, first quoting the text and then applying it. From "Or there are sentient beings whose minds find it sweet" onward corresponds to the fourth passage, first applying it and then matching it.
