金光明經文句記 3.236

3.236

二、「法華」下，約三教。三中且取盛年一種該於三教。窮子除糞至知庫藏，歷漸三昧。二邊心強皆名少壯，佛居道後究竟無為方名衰邁。「凡人」下，欲明法壯，更舉事壯。藏教二乘、通教三乘析體雖殊，皆以空強者陵有弱。別雖三觀共緣無量，故恃法眼陵於慧眼。此等皆名盛年放逸。種姓財寶，歷教亦然。

Second, from 'Lotus Sūtra' onward, in terms of the three teachings. Among the three [aspects], taking only the single aspect of the prime of life to cover the three teachings. From the poor son shoveling dung up to knowing the storehouses, one traverses the gradual samādhis. Where the mind grasping the two extremes is strong, all are called young and vigorous; only when the Buddha abides after the Path, in the ultimate unconditioned, is it called old and declining. From 'ordinary people' onward, intending to clarify vigor in the Dharma, it further adduces vigor in phenomenal aspects. In the Tripiṭaka teaching, the two vehicles, and in the Shared teaching, the three vehicles—though the analytical and bodily [understandings of emptiness] differ—all use the strength of emptiness to bully the weakness of existence. In the Distinct [teaching], although the threefold contemplation collectively takes the limitless as its object, relying on the Dharma-eye, they bully the wisdom-eye. All such cases are called negligence in the prime of life. Clan and wealth are likewise [applied] across the teachings.
