1.42

演法無畏猶師子吼。其所講說乃如雷震　此下二明破惡益文二。初舉二喻。二總結。又前喻破見。後喻破愛見。以迷理愛以滯事固其見則眾惑無由喪。縶其愛則善牙莫能發。故什曰。上明一切時無畏。此明說法無畏。上師子吼德音遠振。此明能說實法眾咸敬順猶師子吼威懾群獸也。又肇曰。法音遠震開導萌牙。猶春雷之動百草。

"Expounding the Dharma with fearlessness like a lion’s roar, their preaching was like thunderclaps." From here down is the second [section], explaining the benefit of destroying evil, which has two parts: first, adducing two metaphors; second, the overall conclusion. Furthermore, the former metaphor destroys views, and the latter metaphor destroys craving. Views arise from deluded attachment to principle, and craving arises from stagnation in phenomena; if their views are solidified, the multitude of delusions has no way to be destroyed, and if their craving is bound, the sprouts of goodness cannot sprout. Therefore Kumārajīva says: "The preceding explained fearlessness at all times; this explains fearlessness in expounding the Dharma. Above, 'the lion's roar' meant that the sound of their virtue resounded afar; this explains that their ability to preach the true Dharma causes all assemblies to revere and follow them, just as the lion's roar awes and terrifies all beasts." Sengzhao also says: "The sound of the Dharma resounding afar opens and guides the sprouts [of wisdom], just as spring thunder moves the hundred grasses."
