大般涅槃經義記 2.28

2.28

From here below, the second part, applying the prior metaphor of the good physician being able to cure [the drunkard], requests that the Buddha preach the Dharma. 'The Tathāgata should now bestow on me the Dharma medicine' is a request corresponding to the good physician giving medicine to be taken. 'Causing me to vomit up the wine of the afflictions' matches taking [the medicine] and vomiting. The text from 'Yet I have not yet' downward reveals that one is not yet the same as an awakened person, and urgently requests that the Buddha remain.
