大般涅槃經義記 9.25

9.25

初中有二：一重明向前無相涅槃；二「何等比丘能斷十」下教修趣入，與下第二修十之中其義相似。前明無相涅槃之中，師子先問，「無相定者名大涅槃，以何因緣名為無相」。下佛為辨。初明遠離十種相故名為無相，先舉、次列、後結可知。「夫著相」下，佛為勸修，乘明愚智取捨得失。先明取失，句別有六；後彰捨得，句亦有六。

In the first, there are two parts: first, it re-explains the markless nirvāṇa discussed earlier; second, from "What kind of bhikṣu can sever the ten..." onward, it teaches cultivating entry, whose meaning is similar to the cultivation of the ten in the second [gradation] below. Within the preceding explanation of markless nirvāṇa, Siṃhanāda asks first: "The markless absorption is called the great nirvāṇa; for what reason is it called markless?" Below, the Buddha explains it for him. He first explains that it is called markless because it is far removed from the ten kinds of marks; the initial mention, the subsequent listing, and the final conclusion are clear. From "Now, those attached to marks..." onward, the Buddha encourages cultivation, taking advantage [of the topic] to explain the gains and losses of grasping and relinquishing by the foolish and the wise. He first explains the losses of grasping, in six distinct points; then he displays the gains of relinquishing, also in six points.
