### [7.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.7.47)

贊曰。示大不悕喻也。大乘二利雖使令知，名為出入。「猶於門外」者，大乘教行之因門外。「止宿草庵」者，猶住二乘。「庵」音烏含反，小草舍也。有作「菴」，菴閭草，非舍也。自念以貧為事業，都無大乘事業之分，無一悕意不求大乘。

> The Commentary says: This is the metaphor of showing the Great but not aspiring to it. Although he was caused to know the two benefits of the Mahāyāna, this is called ‘entering and exiting.’ ‘Still outside the gate’ means outside the causal gate of Mahāyāna teaching and practice. ‘Dwelling in a thatched hut’ means still abiding in the Two Vehicles. An is pronounced with the fanqie wu-han; it is a small grass hut. Some write it as an, meaning mugwort grass, not a hut. He thought to himself that poverty was his occupation, having no share whatsoever in the undertakings of the Mahāyāna, lacking any mind of aspiration and not seeking the Mahāyāna.
