大般涅槃經義記 7.101

7.101

如「市易」下喻以顯過，「若人修」下結以顯非。下明是中，先法後喻。法中，初明離有為心，「為方等」下求無為心，「為利」已下念眾生心。喻中有五，文皆可知。

From 'Just as in trading' onward, an analogy is used to reveal the faults. From 'If a person cultivates' onward, a conclusion is made to reveal what is incorrect.

In the analogies, there are five, and their texts can all be understood [readily].
