大般涅槃經義記 6.230

6.230

初中有二：第一通論始終滅相，「由諸弟子或說有神、或說神空、或說中陰、或復言無」，如是種種故令法滅。二從「爾時拘睒彌」下偏就最終以顯滅相，於中先舉邪正二師，次列邪正二種徒眾，下明邪正二師所說，後明邪正二眾所作，事如經說。餘皆可知。

The first [part] contains two divisions: first, broadly discussing the marks of perishing from beginning to end: "Because disciples either say there is a spirit, or say the spirit is empty, or speak of an intermediate existence (antarābhava), or again say there is none"—due to various matters such as these, they cause the Dharma to perish. Second, from "At that time, in Kauśāmbī..." downwards, he focuses specifically on the very end to reveal the marks of perishing. Within this, he first cites the two teachers, the heterodox and the orthodox; next, he lists the two kinds of followers, the heterodox and the orthodox; below that, he explains what was taught by the two teachers, the heterodox and the orthodox; finally, he explains the deeds done by the two assemblies, the heterodox and the orthodox, the matter being as the sūtra explains. The rest can all be understood.
