妙法蓮華經玄贊 7.31

7.31

贊曰：第四子遂憂惶。退大不修却住生死，名悶躄地。若行大行，乖本求意、與死不殊，名必當見殺。何用大乘無漏衣食一旦至此。

The Commentary says: The fourth is that the son thereupon became anxious and panicked. Retreating from the Great [Vehicle] and not cultivating it, instead dwelling in saṃsāra, is called fainting and collapsing to the ground. If he were to practice the great practice, it would go against his original intent in seeking and would be no different from death; this is called ‘I will surely be killed.’ Why should the uncorrupted clothing and food of the Mahāyāna have brought him to this all of a sudden?
