大般涅槃經義記 6.330

6.330

「佛言」已下如來廣破，先歎後破。王前領解是以須歎，王前有執是故須破。歎中，「善哉」是總歎也，「諸佛」下別，「是故」下結。

From "the Buddha said" onward, the Tathāgata extensively dismantles it, first praising and then dismantling. Because the king previously comprehended, praise was necessary; because the king previously harbored clinging, dismantling was necessary. In the praise, "excellent!" is general praise; from "all buddhas" onward is specific; from "for this reason" onward concludes.
