大般涅槃經義記 5.90

5.90

第四句中，「是人聞已即作是念：不用色」等不求來生，「亦不用死」厭患當死。下明凡夫為生造業，「即作是言：食是食已，若命終者，何用賣之」喻明菩薩徵說所為，受生必死，何用勸求？「食主答」下喻顯說意，「有智不買」簡聖異凡，「唯愚不知，多與我買」彰凡異聖，凡夫不知生必有死名「愚不知」，為求彼生多行善因名「多與價」。

In the fourth clause, "This person, having heard, immediately had this thought: 'I have no need for color...'" and so forth is not seeking future birth; "nor do I have need for death" is loathing future death. Below clarifies that ordinary people create karma for the sake of birth: "He immediately said these words: 'Having eaten this food, if one's life comes to an end, what use is selling it?'" allegorically explains the bodhisattva questioning what is explained: since receiving birth inevitably brings death, what use is encouraging people to seek it? From "The owner of the food answered" downward allegorically reveals the intention of the explanation: "The wise do not buy it" selects the noble to distinguish them from the ordinary; "Only the foolish, unaware, pay me much to buy it" reveals that the ordinary differ from the noble; ordinary people not knowing that birth inevitably entails death is called "foolish and unaware"; practicing many good causes to seek that birth is called "paying a high price."
