5.116
問:亦云二夜常說涅槃,故《涅槃》佛答迦葉云:「我初成道已,有十方菩薩來問此義。」是中亦應有菩薩未了之者,何不出此意?答:雖有此意,未見明文。若欲說者,准《般若》可知,此約部異耳。若猶是華嚴、般若之異名者,前明所彈即其義也。
Question: It is also said that during the two nights he constantly expounded Nirvāṇa, and thus in the Nirvāṇa Sūtra the Buddha answered Kāśyapa, saying: "When I first attained the Way, bodhisattvas from the ten directions came to ask about this meaning." Among them, there should also be bodhisattvas who had not yet fully understood; why is this meaning not brought forth? Answer: Although this meaning exists, no explicit text has been seen. If one wishes to speak of it, it can be understood by analogy with prajñā; this is merely a difference according to texts. If it is still an alternative name for the Avataṃsaka or prajñā, then what was clarified above regarding what is rebuked is precisely that meaning.
