金光明最勝王經疏 2.399

2.399

贊曰：下喻釋，有四喻：初二喻為出世人、後二為世間人。為出世人，初舉佛滅喻，無有分別而能利他；後舉劣況勝喻。初文有二：初喻、後合。此舉喻也。舉二乘人意解涅槃，謂佛入滅身智無故，同如如無相，信有滅後化事得成。如涅槃後，重起金棺為現雙足、舍利變化種種事業而皆得現，故舉為喻。

Commentary: Below, it explains through similes. There are four similes: the first two similes are for supramundane people; the latter two are for mundane people. For supramundane people, it first adduces the simile of the Buddha's extinction, showing that without conceptual differentiation he is able to benefit others; later, it adduces the simile of using the inferior to illustrate the superior. The first text has two parts: first the simile, later the application. This adduces the simile. It adduces the two vehicles' understanding of nirvāṇa, where they think that when the Buddha enters extinction, body and wisdom are absent, identical to the marklessness of tathatā, yet they believe that after extinction transformative activities can be accomplished. For instance, after nirvāṇa, he rose again from the golden coffin to manifest his feet, and the relics transformed into various activities, all being able to appear; therefore it is adduced as a simile.
