金光明最勝王經疏 4.52

4.52

譬如師子喻。師子有其三德：一有大威力、二獨步無畏、三離驚恐，如次喻。譬如師子獨步無畏，發心修三種忍故。《莊嚴論》中喻如大海，諸來違逆心不動故。《遺教經》云「能行忍者，乃可名為有力大人。」故得無畏。是名下結，略無法合。

The metaphor of the lion: A lion has three virtues: first, having great power and majesty; second, walking alone without fear; third, being free from fright and terror; these correspond to the metaphor. Just as a lion walks alone without fear, one gives rise to the mind to practice the three kinds of patience. In the *Sūtrālaṅkāra*, it is compared to the great ocean, because its mind is unshaken by all adversities that come. The *Sūtra of the Buddha's Bequeathed Teaching* says: "One who can practice patience can truly be called a powerful, great person." Hence one attains fearlessness. From "this is called" downward is the conclusion, with the application to the dharma being omitted.
