大般涅槃經義記 5.353

5.353

喻中，但喻向前初句，於中有四：一由乞生慳喻、二「其人」下諸佛菩薩教修惠施喻、三「彼人」下妄想分別喻、四「如是癡」下分別妨施喻。初中，「如人」喻彼慳者，「箭」喻乞人，由彼乞求，發其慳病，名「被毒箭」。

In the metaphors, they only illustrate the first clause above, and contain four parts: first, the metaphor of stinginess arising due to beggars; second, from "that person..." onward, the metaphor of buddhas and bodhisattvas teaching the cultivation of charitable giving; third, from "that person..." onward, the metaphor of falsely imagined conceptual differentiation; fourth, from "such foolish..." onward, the metaphor of conceptual differentiation impeding giving. In the first part, "like a man" illustrates the stingy person; the "arrow" illustrates the beggar; because of that begging, his illness of stinginess is aroused, which is called "being struck by a poisoned arrow."
