Visuddhimagga III-35

Kulanti ñātikulaṃ vā upaṭṭhākakulaṃ vā.

2.「家」（家族的意思）── 指亲戚的家，或外护的家。

Ñ(III,35): 2. Family means a family consisting of relatives or of supporters.



Ekaccassa hi upaṭṭhākakulampi ‘‘sukhitesu sukhito’’tiādinā (vibha. 888; saṃ. ni. 4.241) nayena saṃsaṭṭhassa viharato palibodho hoti, so kulamānusakehi vinā dhammassavanāya sāmantavihārampi na gacchati.

「外护之家幸福，我亦幸福」，若依此说法而和他们相亲相结而住者，甚至若无他们作伴，即到附近的寺院听法也不去的，对于这样的人则为障碍。

Ñ: For even a family consisting of supporters is an impediment for someone who lives in close association with it in the way beginning 'He is pleased when they are pleased' (S.iii,11), and who does not even go to a neighbouring monastery to hear the Dhamma without members of the family.
