大般涅槃經義記 7.149

7.149

第二益中，初先正辯，後總結嘆。辯中先喻，下合顯法。「涅槃如是」合善呪術。「若一經耳七劫不墮」合前一聞七年不為毒藥中等，此句明其始聞之益。「若有書等必得菩提」合前誦者乃至命盡無有眾惡，此句明其久學之益。結嘆可知。

In the second benefit, first it directly explains, and afterwards it summarizes with praise. In the explanation, first is the analogy, and below is the application that reveals the dharma. 'Nirvāṇa is also like this' applies the good spell. 'If it passes through the ear once, for seven kalpas one will not fall' applies the former 'hearing it once, for seven years one will not be struck by poison' and so forth; this clause clarifies the benefit of first hearing it. 'If there are those who copy it and so forth, they will certainly attain bodhi' applies the former 'those who recite it, up until the end of their lives, will have no evils'; this clause clarifies the benefit of long study. The concluding praise can be known.
