English version: Because of liberation from all faults (but there is still remainder after my life ends), it is called 'Nirvana with remainder' (有余清净), not 'complete Nirvana' (一切清净) (because there is still remainder of Brahma-conduct). It is called accomplishing 'merits with remainder' (有余功德), not 'complete merits' (一切功德) (because there is still remainder of what has to be done). Because of accomplishing 'liberation with remainder' (有余解脱), 'purity with remainder' (有余清净), 'merits with remainder' (有余功德), it is known that there is still remainder of suffering to be eliminated, remainder of accumulation to be realized, remainder of cessation to be attained, remainder of the path to be cultivated (because afflictions are not completely exhausted, causing the knowable to have remainder). This is called obtaining a partial Nirvana, and one who obtains a partial Nirvana is called one who is heading towards the realm of Nirvana (涅槃界) (because there is some understanding, it is said to be partial; ultimately returning to the ultimate, it is said to be heading towards).
