大般涅槃經義記 6.277

6.277

初中先明世王不去，父王後勸。王不去中，先歎如來佛眾清高，「吾今」已下自恥不往。初中五句：一明如來佛眾俱調，調柔心也；二佛眾俱淨，清淨身也；三佛眾俱寂，寂靜口也，此歎有善；四明無貪，貪愛斷也；五明無惱，瞋癡滅也，此明無惡。後中，初先念己罪重，不敢見佛，「吾設往」下懼往無宜，「卿雖勸」下結己不去。

In the first [pair], he first explains that King Ajātaśatru does not go, and his father the king subsequently urges him. Within the king not going, he first praises the Tathāgata and the Buddha's assembly as pure and exalted; from "I now" onward, he is ashamed of himself and will not go. In the former [part], there are five lines: first, explaining that the Tathāgata and the Buddha's assembly are both well-tamed—this is taming the mind; second, that the Buddha and the assembly are both pure—this is purifying the body; third, that the Buddha and the assembly are both tranquil—this is stilling the speech, these [three] praising their possession of good; fourth, explaining that they are free from greed—greed and attachment are severed; fifth, explaining that they are free from affliction—anger and delusion are extinguished, these [two] explaining their freedom from evil. In the latter [part], first he reflects that his own sin is grave and dares not see the Buddha; from "Even if I were to go" onward, he fears that going would be of no avail; from "Although you urge me" onward, he concludes that he will not go.
