大般涅槃經義記 4.94

4.94

上來第一就其字體以別半、滿。「是故半」下是第二段結前半字能為滿本。「又半字」下是第三段，約就所生以別半、滿。初先法說，生煩惱者名之為半、生善名滿，後以喻顯。「如是一切經書」已下是第四段，結滿依半，於中初明經書記論皆依半字，「若言」已下辨真異相，初先辨異，「何以」下釋，「是故」下結。

The above is the first [section], distinguishing the half and complete based on the letters themselves. From "Therefore the half" onward is the second section, concluding that the half letters can serve as the root of the complete. From "Moreover, the half letters" onward is the third section, distinguishing the half and complete with reference to what they produce. First it explains via doctrine: that which gives rise to afflictions is named 'half', and that which gives rise to good is named 'complete'; subsequently it illustrates this with similes. From "All such scriptures" onward is the fourth section, concluding that the complete relies on the half. Therein, it first explains that scriptures and treatises all rely on the half letters; from "If one says" onward, it distinguishes the marks of the real from [the marks of the conventional]: first it distinguishes their difference, from "Why" onward it explains, and from "Therefore" onward it concludes.
