2.254

贊曰:下明出家。有三:一形隨真侶,二行出塵中,三得遇良緣,堅修福慧。此初也。捨輪王位如富者脫屣,趣出家如貧人得寶,寬曠無依去羈網故。

The commentary says: Below, he explains leaving home. There are three points: first, their forms following the true companions; second, their practices transcending the dust of the world; third, encountering excellent conditions and firmly cultivating merit and wisdom. This is the first. Renouncing the position of a wheel-turning king is like a rich man shedding his sandals; going forth to leave home is like a poor man finding a treasure, because in vastness and independence they cast off the entanglement of nets.
