妙法蓮華經玄贊 5.11

5.11

贊曰：下釋歡喜之所以，有四：一失大法以興嗟，二處小階而起歡，三喜今聞而惱盡，四知佛子而道成。此初也。「豫」者入也關也。《玉篇》「預，先辦也備預也早也。」《切韻》「若逸，作豫，正應為預。」《爾雅》為「預，逮、及與也。」古文為「與」，《左傳》云「公必與焉。」「感」者激也。「傷」者歎也。昔聞菩薩如是受記之事我等不入，昔聞授記之流不及授記之事，所以感激恨切，傷歎失於如來五種知見，或失如來智性、智相之知見也。

The commentary: Below is the explanation of the reasons for his joy, which has four parts: first, lamenting the loss of the great Dharma; second, dwelling in the small stage and giving rise to joy; third, rejoicing at now hearing it and defilements being exhausted; fourth, knowing he is a son of the Buddha and the path is accomplished. This is the first. "Yù" (豫) means to enter, to participate. The Yupian says: "Yù (預) means prepared beforehand, ready, early." The Qieyun says: "For ruòyì, write yù (豫); it should properly be yù (預)." The Erya takes yù (預) as "reaching, attaining, and participating." In ancient script it was yǔ (與); the Zuo Zhuan says: "The Duke must participate (yǔ) in it." "Gǎn" (感) means to be stirred. "Shāng" (傷) means to sigh and lament. In the past, hearing of such prophecies given to bodhisattvas, we did not take part; in the past, hearing of the company receiving prophecies, we did not attain the matter of prophecy; therefore, deeply stirred and resentful, he sighed and lamented losing the five kinds of knowledge and vision of the Tathāgata, or losing the knowledge and vision of the Tathāgata's nature of wisdom and characteristics of wisdom.
