妙法蓮華經玄贊 2.360

2.360

The Commentary says: The following five verses recollect the eight hundred disciples, divided into two: the first two and a half verses recollect defiled causes; the latter two and a half verses recollect pure causes. This is the first. Regarding family and clan as noble, and putting love of profit and renown first, much of what he practiced was abandoned, hence he was called Fame-Seeker, because he possessed the six faults, as can be known from the text. 'Xie' (slack) is pronounced gu-ai fan, meaning lazy or weary. 'Dai' (remiss) is pronounced tu-hai fan, also meaning slack or fatigued. It is also written as 'dai' (sluggish), which also means fatigued, arrogant, or fallen. Second is craving and clinging to already-acquired gain and fame; third is further seeking unacquired fame and gain. 'Zu' (clan) means a category. The Rites of Zhou says: 'Four lu form a clan'; Zheng Xuan says: 'A hundred households.'
