妙法蓮華經玄贊 6.86

6.86

贊曰：下有五頌，父遂心安。分二：一頌半見已自慶，三頌半喜極告他。此初也。「四衢」者，四諦理也。子既出住四衢，父遂坐師子座，得無畏故、表心安故。由此次言「爾時諸子知父安坐」，故師子座是父座也。善適父心故言快樂，即是昔者得菩提。後生猶在因數，說法時示將垂濟，義同將行救待於子，所以言立。今子果滿已出火宅，父無行待心安稱坐。

Commentary: Below are five verses on the father's wish being fulfilled and his mind being at peace. It is divided into two: one and a half verses on rejoicing after seeing them; three and a half verses on rejoicing exceedingly and telling others. This is the first.

"The crossroads" are the principles of the four noble truths. When the children had come out and were standing at the crossroads, the father then sat upon the lion seat, because he attained fearlessness and to show that his mind was at peace. Because of this, it says next, "At that time the children knew their father was seated at peace"; thus the lion seat is the father's seat. Well suiting the father's intent, it says "happy." That is, formerly, having attained bodhi, while sentient beings were still in the tally of causes, when preaching the Dharma he displayed that he was about to deliver them; the meaning is the same as preparing to rescue and waiting for his children, which is why he was said to be standing. Now that the children's fruit is complete and they have come out of the burning house, the father has no need to wait, and with his mind at peace he sits down.
