法華論疏 3.327

3.327

問：醫師之譬是長行、其文在前，我淨土不毀是偈、其文在後，論主何故迴文釋耶？答：論主取前三菩提為正果、淨土為依果，此二竝明常義，故總屬菩提無上，故一處釋之。涅槃無上明果果義，故在後釋也。

Question: The parable of the physician is in prose, and its text comes before; 'my pure land is indestructible' is in verse, and its text comes after. Why does the author of the treatise reverse the text when explaining it? Answer: The author of the treatise takes the aforementioned saṃbodhi as the primary fruit, and the pure land as the dependent fruit; both of these elucidate the meaning of permanence, and therefore collectively belong to unsurpassed bodhi, which is why he explains them together in one place. Unsurpassed nirvāṇa elucidates the meaning of the fruit of the fruit, and is therefore explained afterward.
