大般涅槃經義記 4.65

4.65

前中，先喻，後合顯法。喻文有五：一菩薩過去宣說真我眾生得聞喻、二「王子後時捉持是」下遷化他土喻、三「於是貧人後於他」下尋名妄執喻、四「傍人聞」下聲聞四果徵情責實喻、五「先逃王子從他國」下聖復本化辨邪異正喻。

In the former part, there is first an analogy, and afterwards an application to reveal the Dharma. The text of the analogy has five points: first, the analogy of a bodhisattva in the past expounding the true self and sentient beings getting to hear it; second, from 'the prince later took hold of this' onward, the analogy of moving to transform another land; third, from 'thereupon this poor person later at another' onward, the analogy of pursuing the name and falsely clinging to it; fourth, from 'a bystander heard' onward, the analogy of the four fruits of the śrāvaka examining the sentiment and demanding the reality; fifth, from 'the formerly fled prince, from the other country' onward, the analogy of the sage returning to original conversion and distinguishing the false from the correct.
