大般涅槃經義記 5.74

5.74

自下第二喻惡死中亦有四句：一死相現前喻、二「見已問」下審死名字喻、三「問何故名黑闇」下審死功能喻、四「主人問」下菩薩厭死喻。初中，「門外更見女」者，生觀之後別見死相故云門外，是生流類故說為女。死相弊惡名「形醜陋」，樂事衰滅名「衣弊壞」，諸苦隨逐名「諸垢膩」，形色枯悴名「皮皺裂」，其色艾白。

From here below, in the second, allegorizing the despise of death, there are also four clauses: first, the parable of the characteristic of death manifesting before [him]; second, from "Having seen, he asked" downward, the parable of inquiring into the name of death; third, from "He asked, 'Why are you named Darkness?'" downward, the parable of inquiring into the function of death; fourth, from "The master asked" downward, the parable of the bodhisattva loathing death. In the first [clause], "outside the gate he further saw a woman": seeing the characteristic of death separately after the contemplation of birth is why it says "outside the gate"; being of the same class as birth, she is spoken of as a woman. The repulsive evil of the characteristic of death is called "her form was hideous"; the decay and cessation of pleasant matters is called "her clothes were tattered and ruined"; the various sufferings following closely behind are called "all kinds of dirt and grease"; the withered and emaciated appearance is called "her skin was wrinkled and chapped, and its color was pale white."
