7.23

贊曰:二所見父相也。「門內」者,理居教內,果在因內。昔望生死名居門外,今望涅槃故住門內。「計算金等」者,諸聖作論,分別計度法聖財故。「出內財產」者,行二利用也。「注記券疏」者,諸師作疏、修撰文記等。「注」者丁住反,注記也。《切韻》「注,之戍反,水注也,非注記」。《廣雅》「注,亦之喻反,注疏也,識也解也」。《通俗文》「記物曰注」。今亦作「注」。

The Commentary says: The second is the marks of the father that he saw. ‘Within the gate’ means principle abiding within the teaching, and fruition being within the cause. Formerly, looking toward saṃsāra, he was called ‘dwelling outside the gate’; now, looking toward nirvāṇa, he therefore ‘dwells within the gate.’ ‘Calculating the gold and so forth’ means the noble ones composing treatises to discriminate and calculate the noble wealth of Dharma. ‘Disbursing and taking in property’ means practicing the two benefits. ‘Recording them in account registers’ means the various masters writing commentaries, compiling textual records, and so forth. Zhu is pronounced with the fanqie ding-zhu; it means to record or annotate. The Qieyun says: ‘Zhu is pronounced with zhi-shu, meaning water pouring, not annotating.’ The Guangya says: ‘Zhu is also pronounced with zhi-yu, meaning commenting, noting, and explaining.’ The Tongsuwen says: ‘Recording things is called zhu.’ Here it is also written as zhu.
