大般涅槃經義記 7.249

7.249

上來就善釋通其難，下次就惡。先牒直非，「何以」下釋，於中三句：初「非惡聲乃是惡心」對問略釋；二「者何」下重為顯之，雖聞惡聲，心不生惡，是故當知非因惡聲，釋前非以惡聲而至，「而諸眾生因煩惱」下釋前是果乃是惡心；三「若聲定」下破其定義，若聲有定，諸有聞者悉應生惡，以聲徵心，或生、不生，當知無定，以心破聲，「以無定」下約心顯聲。

The above resolved his objection with respect to the good; next it does so with respect to the evil. It first cites [the objection] and directly refutes it. The passage from "Why is this?" onward explains it, within which there are three clauses: First, "It is not evil sounds, but rather an evil mind" is a brief explanation in response to the question. Second, the passage from "What is this?" onward discloses it further: although one hears an evil sound, an evil mind does not arise; therefore one should know it is not caused by evil sounds—this explains the earlier statement that it does not arrive through evil sounds; and the passage from "yet sentient beings, due to defilements..." onward explains the earlier statement that the effect is indeed an evil mind. Third, the passage from "If sounds were determinate" onward refutes their definition of determinacy: if sounds were determinate, all who hear them should give rise to evil; examining the mind through sound, it either arises or does not arise, so one should know that it is indeterminate—refuting sound by means of mind; and the passage from "Because it is indeterminate" onward reveals sound with reference to mind.
