大般涅槃經疏 14.12

14.12

「是時二女」下，第二為貪著作譬，往復有四：初明俱趣凡夫，凡夫乏善故言貧家。「貧人」下，第二凡夫貪愛。「功德天言」下，第三生境，撿讓凡心。「貧人答言」下，第四凡心應境，既其欣生所以受死。「迦葉菩薩」下，合譬，先合菩薩厭、後合凡夫貪。

From "At that time the two women" below is the second [part], making an analogy for greedy attachment; the back-and-forth has four [steps]: first, explaining that they together went to a worldling; since a worldling lacks goodness, it says "a poor house". From "The poor man" below, the second shows the worldling's greedy attachment. From "The Goddess of Merit said" below, the third is the object of birth examining and yielding to the worldling's mind. From "The poor man replied, saying" below, the fourth is the worldling's mind responding to the object: since he delights in birth, he consequently accepts death. From "Bodhisattva Kāśyapa" below is the application of the analogy: first applying it to the bodhisattva's revulsion, then to the worldling's greed.
