大般涅槃經義記 5.89

5.89

第三句中，「食主答言此是上食，色香味具」嘆生殊勝，「若食此」下就人辨益，人受彼生名「食此食」，「得色、得力」明其有樂，「能除飢渴」彰其無苦，多有天人以為眷屬名「得見天」。此前「嘆生唯有一患，所謂命終」，彰其有死。

In the third clause, "The owner of the food answered, 'This is superior food, complete in color, fragrance, and taste'" praises the superiority of birth; from "If one eats this" downward clarifies the benefit with respect to the person: a person receiving that birth is called "eating this food"; "gaining color and gaining strength" explains that it has joy; "able to eliminate hunger and thirst" reveals that it has no suffering; having many gods and humans as a retinue is called "gaining sight of the gods"; prior to this, "praising birth has only one affliction, namely the end of life" reveals that it entails death.
