法華論疏 1.83

1.83

以遠離能見所見故，名無復煩惱者。此當句釋。夫起惑要由能見所見，生已遠離能見所見即煩惱不起。善得心解脫、慧解脫，名心善調伏者，此以上釋下也。人中大龍者，此當句釋也。前明遠離能見所見，是當上釋上，今是當下釋下也。應作者，此用上釋下。所作已辦者，此當句也。如相應事已成就者，與四諦理相應也。離諸重擔者，此以上釋下，用上二句以釋此句也。逮得己利者，用上釋下也。盡諸有結者，以上釋下。善得正智心解脫者，用上釋下。一切心得自在者，當句釋也。到第一彼岸者，以上釋下，亦當句釋也。大阿羅漢者，下釋經中「如是等眾所知識大阿羅漢」也，用上歎德中心得自在及到彼岸二句釋之，以到彼岸是究竟聲聞，故稱大阿羅漢。問：心得自在，云何是釋大阿羅漢？答：前釋心得自在具定慧，兩障俱盡名心自在，此必是大阿羅漢。

As for 'because of being far removed from that which is capable of seeing and that which is seen, they are called having no more afflictions': this is an explanation within the phrase itself. For the arising of delusion necessarily depends on that which is capable of seeing and that which is seen; having arisen, if one is far removed from that which is capable of seeing and that which is seen, then afflictions do not arise. 'Well attaining liberation of mind and liberation of wisdom is called the mind being well-subdued': this is using the upper to explain the lower. 'Great dragons among men': this is an explanation within the phrase itself. Previously, explaining being far removed from that which is capable of seeing and that which is seen was explaining the upper within the upper; here it is explaining the lower within the lower. 'What ought to be done': this uses the upper to explain the lower. 'What was to be done has been accomplished': this is within the phrase itself. 'As the corresponding tasks have been accomplished' means corresponding with the principle of the Four Noble Truths. 'Leaving behind all heavy burdens': this is using the upper to explain the lower, using the two phrases above to explain this phrase. 'Attaining their own benefit': this uses the upper to explain the lower. 'Exhausting all fetters of existence': this uses the upper to explain the lower. 'Well attaining liberation of mind through correct knowledge': this uses the upper to explain the lower. 'All minds attaining mastery': this is an explanation within the phrase itself. 'Reaching the foremost other shore': this uses the upper to explain the lower, and is also an explanation within the phrase itself. 'Great arhats': this explains below in the sūtra 'such great arhats who are known to the multitude'; it uses the two phrases among the virtues praised above—'the mind attaining mastery' and 'reaching the other shore'—to explain it, because reaching the other shore denotes the ultimate śrāvakas, hence they are called great arhats. Question: How does 'the mind attaining mastery' explain 'great arhats'? Answer: The previous explanation stated that the mind attaining mastery possesses both concentration and wisdom; when both hindrances are completely exhausted, it is called the mind having mastery—these must be great arhats.
