大般涅槃經疏 1.40

1.40

次、從「大覺」下，告也。告之言報，初報令斷疑、次報令興問。大覺遍知能斷前疑，四等慈悲必聽後問。後問則教道演暢，獲涅槃施；斷疑則棄偽獲真，新伊方顯。大聲普告為設教之序，此義明矣。前具歎三號，今但報大覺。大覺正是遍知。明師即主即父，故不煩文。復次如來是初號，大覺是後號。歎初告後互舉一邊，其意則遍。若依前分別，應節節明四義，得意自顯故不復云。

Next, from "The Great Awakened One" onward is the notification. The word "notification" (gao) means to announce: first it announces to cause them to sever doubts, and next it announces to cause them to raise questions. The Great Awakened One of universal knowledge can sever the former doubts; the kindness and compassion of the four equalities will surely grant the later questions. When the later questions [are raised], then the path of teaching flows freely and nirvāṇa's giving is obtained; when doubts are severed, then the false is abandoned and the real obtained, and the new "i" character is then revealed. The great voice universally notifying is the prelude to setting forth the teaching—this meaning is clear. Previously, it fully praised the three titles; now it only announces [as] the Great Awakened One. The Great Awakened One is precisely the All-Knowing One (sarvajña). That the master is the ruler and the father is clear, so words need not be multiplied. Furthermore, Tathāgata is the first title, and Great Awakened One is the later title. Praising the first and notifying with the latter mutually invoke one side, and the meaning is comprehensive. If we distinguish according to the former, we should clarify the four meanings section by section; since the point is understood, it is naturally clear, so it is not repeated.
