大般涅槃經義記 6.218

6.218

上來第二正就法體明滅不滅，「若我弟子受持」已下勸人受持、讀誦、解說，令使此經於人不滅。下次對前第二句問明迦葉佛有經不無，先舉問辭，下為辯釋。釋有五段：一正答前問明《涅槃經》諸佛祕藏一切皆有、二「何以」下因前言故乘解藏義、三「是人所以藏積」已下因前解藏乘明諸佛藏積所以、四「若是經典滅不現」下就藏顯滅、五「《大涅槃》常不變」下就其初句結呵問辭。

The preceding second [subdivision] directly clarified extinction and non-extinction with reference to the substance of the Dharma. From "If my disciples receive and uphold it" below, it encourages people to receive, uphold, read, recite, and explain it, so as to cause this sūtra not to be extinguished among people. Next, in response to the question in the second clause above, it clarifies that Kāśyapa Buddha had the sūtra and it was not absent. First, he cites the words of the question, and below explains and interprets them. The explanation has five sections: first, directly answering the earlier question to clarify that the Mahāparinirvāṇa Sūtra, as the secret treasury of the buddhas, is possessed by all; second, from "Why?" below, taking occasion from the preceding words to explain the meaning of "treasury"; third, from "The reason why this person hoards" below, taking occasion from the preceding explanation of "treasury" to clarify the reason why the buddhas hoard [it]; fourth, from "If this sūtra is extinguished and does not appear" below, revealing extinction in terms of the treasury; fifth, from "The Mahāparinirvāṇa is constantly unchanging" below, concluding with a rebuke of the words of the question based on its initial clause.
