諸餘微細等者,如《華嚴》云:「盡法界虛空界十方剎海,所有眾生種種差別。所謂卵生、胎生、濕生、化生,或有依於地、水、火、風而生住者,或有依空及諸卉木而生住者,種種生類、種種色身,乃至云一切天龍八部人非人等,無足、四足、多足,有色、無色、有想、無想、非有想、非無想等。」以今經中無別說處,不可搆虛而言。故疏結云:「不可具分品類也。」
Regarding "all other minute [beings]," etc.: as the Avataṃsaka Sūtra says: "Exhausting the Dharma realm and space realm throughout the seas of worlds in the ten directions, all sentient beings have various distinctions: namely, egg-born, womb-born, moisture-born, transformationally born; or those that are born and abide dependent on earth, water, fire, and wind; or those that are born and abide dependent on space and various plants and trees; various classes of beings, various physical bodies, up to and including all gods, dragons, the eight classes, humans, non-humans, and so on; footless, two-footed, four-footed, many-footed; with form, formless; with perception, without perception, neither with perception nor without perception, and so on." Since in the present sūtra there is no separate exposition, one must not fabricate words out of nothing. Therefore the commentary concludes: "their classes and categories cannot be fully divided."
