法華義疏 12.103

12.103

七難時短急，不暇禮拜供養，亦不暇𣫍心靜攝，但得稱名；三毒時長難斷，必須治道故常念；無男無女異上二種，故禮拜供養。又觀音名具行願，故初令稱名，餘二名有行無願故居後。二名之中意為本、身為末，復有次第也。

The time of the seven perils is short and urgent, leaving no leisure to pay homage or make offerings, nor leisure to quiet the mind in concentrated stillness; one can only recite the name. The time of the three poisons is long and difficult to sever, inevitably requiring the path of remedy, hence constant recollection. Lacking a son or daughter differs from the above two kinds, hence paying homage and making offerings. Furthermore, the name Avalokiteśvara is complete with both practice and vows, hence initially it directs one to recite the name; the remaining two names possess practice but lack vows, hence they are placed later. Between these two names, the mind is the root and the body is the branch, so there is again a sequence.
