法華文句記 7.110

7.110

「貴在得意」者，譬中已委故不更論。「似有二義」者，由結緣不壞，雖大小俱似，雖貶曰似，子義不亡。次「子既」下舉正因況，若論正因不似亦子，況復似耶？既曾結緣，誰非真子？據曾逃走父且貶之，由位淺迷深斥之云似。「云云」者，如上分別。

Regarding "the value lies in grasping the meaning": this has already been detailed in the parable, so it is not discussed again. Regarding "there seem to be two meanings": because the affinity formed is not destroyed, both the Mahāyāna and Hīnayāna resemble [the son]; although disparagingly called "resembling," the meaning of being a son is not lost. Next, below "since the son...": it cites the primary cause to make a comparison: if we speak in terms of the primary cause, even without resembling, one is still a son, how much more so when resembling? Since they once formed an affinity, who is not a true son? Speaking from the perspective of having once run away, the father temporarily disparages him; because his stage is shallow and his delusion deep, he rebukes him by calling him "resembling." "And so forth" means distinguishing as above.
