大般涅槃經義記 6.384

6.384

下合顯法，「如來亦爾」合前父母，下明化益。然上喻中，楊葉之喻一處別論，牛馬男女一處而舉，今此合中楊葉、牛、馬一處合之，木男、木女在後別合，文之左右。

Below, it applies [the similes] to reveal the Dharma: "The Tathāgata is also like this" applies to the former parents; below, it clarifies the benefit of transformation. However, in the similes above, the simile of the willow leaves was treated separately in one place, while the oxen, horses, men, and women were brought up together in one place; now, in this application, the willow leaves, oxen, and horses are applied together in one place, while the wooden men and wooden women are applied separately later, showing a difference in the textual arrangement.
