大般涅槃經義記 6.368

6.368

不妄語中，「實語」一門明其當法，「微妙」一門明能顯法。「善巧句」等七句之文廣顯前妙，末後一偈廣顯前實。就顯妙中，「善巧於句」以為一門，言能順教。「善巧於義」復為一門，語能顯義。「甚深祕藏為眾顯示」廣前善義。「所有廣言為眾略語」廣前答句。「具足是語善能療生」總以結歎。就廣實中，「若有眾生聞是語者」聞前善巧句義等語。「若信、不信，定知佛說」顯其實義，眾生於法信、謗不同，是故有其信與不信。世王自噵我今定知是佛所說，終無虛妄。

Regarding the absence of false speech, the single gate of "true words" explains that it corresponds to reality; the single gate of "subtle and wondrous" explains that it can reveal reality. The seven phrases beginning with "skillful in phrases" extensively clarify the former subtlety, while the final stanza extensively clarifies the former truth. In clarifying the subtlety, "skillful in phrases" constitutes one gate, meaning the words conform to the teaching; "skillful in meaning" constitutes another gate, meaning the words can reveal the meaning. "To deeply and secretly conceal nothing, displaying it for the multitude" expands on the former good meaning. "Taking all extensive speech and summarizing it for the multitude" expands on the former responsive phrasing. "Being complete in such speech, well able to cure sentient beings" concludes and praises this as a whole. In extensively explaining truth, "If there are sentient beings who hear these words" refers to hearing the aforementioned words of skillful phrasing and meaning. "Whether believing or disbelieving, they definitely know it is spoken by the Buddha" reveals its true meaning: because sentient beings differ in believing or slandering the Dharma, there is both believing and disbelieving. King Ajātaśatru states on his own: "I now definitely know this is spoken by the Buddha; it is utterly free from falsehood."
