大般涅槃經義記 4.325

4.325

下佛因請身現無病，文別有三：一身現無病、二放光益物、三「心無疑」下出華益物。初中，「世尊大悲熏心」起化所因，「知生各念」起化所緣，知眾並有求法之心名各各念，將順利益起化所為。前說學法是少分益，後說學行是畢竟益，為順如是畢竟利益故現無病，「即從臥」下正現無病。

Below, when the Buddha manifests his body as free from illness in response to the supplication, the text has three distinct parts: first, his body manifests freedom from illness; second, he emits light to benefit beings; third, from "His mind free from doubt" down, he brings forth flowers to benefit beings. In the first: "The World-Honoured One's mind is perfumed by great compassion" is the cause for giving rise to the transformation; "Knowing what sentient beings each think" is the condition for giving rise to the transformation—knowing that all in the assembly have minds seeking the Dharma is termed "what they each think"; wishing to bestow benefit is the purpose for giving rise to the transformation. The previous explanation of studying the Dharma is a partial benefit; the later explanation of cultivating practice is the ultimate benefit; in order to bestow such ultimate benefit, he therefore manifests freedom from illness; from "Immediately from his lying position" down, he formally manifests freedom from illness.
