大般涅槃經疏 2.9

2.9

次、列。舍離既言六倍勝，前應是六恒。但王數可數，但除阿闍一人，餘者不須恒量，故數不言耳。文為三：所召、奉召、順召。初所中有類、有名。類中簡闍王者，此王在後，列名如文。「嚴四兵」去，即是順召。是諸王等，是歎德，具有上求下化。歎德而不次第者，顯其無定。次「亦於晨朝」是奉召。三「持甘膳」等是順召。

Next, the list. Since [Vai]śālī is stated to be six times superior, the preceding should be six Ganges. However, the number of kings can be counted; excluding only the one person Ajāta[śatru], the rest need not be measured by the Ganges, hence the number is not stated. The text has three parts: those summoned, receiving the summons, and complying with the summons. In the first part, "those summoned", there are category and names. In the category, King Ajāta[śatru] is excluded because this king comes later; the names are listed as in the text. From "marshalling the fourfold army" onward, this is complying with the summons. "These kings and so forth": this is praising their virtues, possessing both seeking above and converting below. Praising their virtues without fixed order reveals their non-fixity. Next, "also at dawn" is receiving the summons. Third, "carrying sweet delicacies" and so forth is complying with the summons.
