大般涅槃經義記 6.299

6.299

第三對中，世王初先彰己不去，耆婆後勸。前中四句：一舉昔所聞辨明如來不近惡人，於中初法、次舉四喻、後合可知；二「我當」下明己不去；三「我觀」下自測如來不近惡人；四「是故」下結己不去。

In the third pair, the king first shows that he will not go, and Jīvaka later admonishes him. In the former part there are four clauses: First, citing what he previously heard, he explains that the Tathāgata does not draw near to evil persons; therein, first the Dharma, next four analogies are adduced, and afterwards the application is clear. Second, from "I should" onward clarifies that he himself will not go. Third, from "I observe" onward he conjectures on his own that the Tathāgata does not draw near to evil persons. Fourth, from "therefore" onward concludes that he will not go.
