大般涅槃經義記 6.317

6.317

第二段中，曲有四句：第一如來發言呼命。八種聲者，如《梵摩喻經》說：一最好聲，其聲清雅；二易了聲，有所言說辨了易解；三調和聲，大小得中；四柔軟聲，其聲柔軟，令人喜聞；五不誤聲，言無錯謬；六不女聲，其聲雄朗；七尊慧聲，言無戰怯，如世尊重有慧之人言無戰怯，佛聲亦爾；八深遠聲，猶如雷震。懼王喜過，不即題名，是故總相呼言大王。二王聞驚疑，「於此眾中誰為大王？我罪無福，如來不應稱為大王」。三如來重復題名以呼。四世王聞之，除疑歡喜，先明歡喜，「真知如」下明其除疑。

In the second section, there are specifically four clauses: first, the Tathāgata speaks to call out to him. As for the eight kinds of voice, as stated in the Brahmāyu Sūtra: 1. the best voice, which is clear and elegant; 2. the easily understood voice, where whatever is spoken is distinct and easy to comprehend; 3. the harmonious voice, where loudness and softness are well-balanced; 4. the gentle voice, which is soft and makes people delight to hear it; 5. the unerring voice, whose words contain no mistakes; 6. the non-effeminate voice, which is resonant and clear; 7. the venerable and wise voice, whose words are without trembling or timidity, just as a person revered in the world who possesses wisdom speaks without trembling or timidity, so too is the Buddha's voice; 8. the deep and far-reaching voice, like the rumbling of thunder. Fearing that the king might be overwhelmed by joy, he does not immediately call him by name, and for this reason generally addresses him saying, "Great King." Second, hearing this, the king is startled and doubts: "In this assembly, who is the Great King? I am sinful and devoid of merit; the Tathāgata should not address me as Great King." Third, the Tathāgata once again calls him, naming him directly. Fourth, King Ajātaśatru hears it, his doubts are dispelled, and he rejoices; it first clarifies his rejoicing, and from "truly I know that the Tathāgata" onward clarifies that his doubts are dispelled.
