妙法蓮華經玄贊 4.80

4.80

贊曰：下有一百二十一頌中，後之三頌入品第四段，勸發喜心令知作佛，即初一百一十八頌頌前長行第三開斯實相啟彼權門，分二：初一百一十五頌頌前二記，後之三頌頌破四疑。初中復二：初四頌頌取記中惡人退席，後一百一十一頌頌與授記。四中初一頌頌增上慢，後之三頌頌罪根深重，四頌如次慢、犯、覆、障，此頌慢也。出家之人道證為首，少得謂多、得多起增上慢；在俗男子多計著我，自恃高心，故生我慢；在俗女人多生卑慢無恃勝道，少計著我，隨順夫朋亦懷不信。

The Eulogy says: In the one hundred and twenty-one verses below, the last three verses enter the fourth section of the chapter, urging the arousal of a joyful mind to let them know they will become buddhas. That is to say, the initial one hundred and eighteen verses versify the third [section] of the preceding prose, 'opening this real mark and revealing that expedient gate,' which is divided into two: the first one hundred and fifteen verses versify the previous two prophecies; the latter three verses versify the refutation of the four doubts. In the first [part] there are again two: the first four verses versify the evil persons withdrawing from their seats during the receiving of prophecy; the latter one hundred and eleven verses versify the granting of prophecy. Among the four, the first single verse versifies excessive pride; the latter three verses versify the gravity of the roots of sin. The four verses correspond respectively to pride, violation, concealment, and obstruction; this [first] verse is pride. For renunciants, realization of the path comes first; when having attained little, they claim to have attained much, and having attained much, they give rise to excessive pride. Laymen mostly grasp onto a self and rely on a haughty mind, and therefore give rise to self-pride. Laywomen mostly give rise to the pride of inferiority, lacking reliance on the supreme path; having little grasping onto a self, they follow along with their husbands and friends and also harbor disbelief.
