妙法蓮華經玄贊 3.99

3.99

贊曰：下三頌四眾疑，有二：初一頌頌聲聞無學有學之疑，二頌頌緣覺等眾願佛說。疑喻如網，羅生難出。「猶豫」者，《說文》「隴西謂犬子為猶，猶性多豫，在人前故，凡不決者謂之猶豫。」《爾雅》云「猶如麂善登木，郭璞云：健上樹也。」

The Commentary says: The three verses below concern the doubts of the four assemblies, divided into two: first, one verse versifies the doubts of the śrāvakas, both those beyond training and those in training; two verses versify the pratyekabuddhas and other assemblies wishing for the Buddha to explain it. Doubt is compared to a net: once entangled, it is hard to escape. Regarding 'hesitation' (youyu): the Shuowen says, 'In Longxi, a dog pup is called you; the nature of a you is prone to suspicion (yu), staying in front of humans. In general, indecisiveness is called youyu.' The Erya says, 'The you is like a muntjac and is good at climbing trees; Guo Pu says: it is skilled at ascending trees.'
