大般涅槃經義記 3.75

3.75

First comes the dharma, and next the application [to the metaphor]. In the dharma [section], "it is the power of this single bodhisattva" corresponds to the king; this is one of the four [persons] mentioned earlier. "Causing them all to hear the sūtras they had not heard before" corresponds to obtaining the rare food. The application to the metaphor can be understood accordingly.
