大般涅槃經義記 7.419

7.419

第三段中，「所以者何」徵前起後，「此有見人」自徵立意。下對顯之，句別有四：一以人取證因有果、二「若無性」下破無成有、三「若是可取可作」已下結成第一、四「若無果」下結破第二。就初句中，先舉世人所取之事，次以人取明能生果，後以生果證性本有，文皆可知。

In the third section: "Why is this?" questions what precedes to introduce what follows; "these people of existence-views" question themselves to establish their intention. Below, contrasting to reveal it, there are distinctively four clauses: 1. Using human taking to prove that the cause has the fruit; 2. From "If it lacked nature" onward refutes nonexistence to establish existence; 3. From "If it is takable and workable" onward concludes to establish the first; 4. From "If it lacked the fruit" onward concludes to refute the second. In the first clause, it first cites the matters taken by worldly people; next, it uses human taking to clarify the ability to produce the fruit; afterward, it uses the production of the fruit to prove that the nature fundamentally exists. The text can all be understood.
