俱舍論記 29.74

29.74

「大師世眼久已閉堪為證者多散滅」者，此下第二傷歎勸學。就中，一傷歎人、二勸學法。就傷歎人中，一正傷歎人、二重釋傷歎。就正傷歎人中，一傷歎有德、二傷歎起失。此即第一傷歎有德。上句傷歎如來，下句傷歎弟子。三界大師為世眼目，入寂多時，名久已閉。諸聖弟子舍利子等，堪為證得佛正法者，亦入涅槃，多分散滅。

"The Great Master, the eye of the world, has long been closed; / Most of those worthy of witnessing have dispersed and perished": below this is the second part, lamenting and encouraging study. Within it, first it laments the persons, and second it encourages the study of the Dharma. Within lamenting the persons, first it directly laments the persons, and second it re-explains the lamentation. Within directly lamenting the persons, first it laments the virtuous, and second it laments the arising of faults. Here it first laments the virtuous. The upper line laments the Tathāgata, and the lower line laments the disciples. The Great Master of the three realms was the eye of the world; having entered quiescence for a long time, it is said that he "has long been closed." The noble disciples, Śāriputra and the rest, who were worthy of witnessing and realizing the Buddha's true Dharma, have also entered nirvāṇa, and most have dispersed and perished.
