妙法蓮華經玄贊 2.322

2.322

贊曰：下九頌半如今所見中有五：初半頌六趣眾生，三頌見佛，一頌聞法，一頌見四眾，四頌見菩薩，不頌入滅起塔。此初也。處謂所趣報，是業因所歸處故。或處謂道理，善因感善果惡因感惡果，有是理故。或處謂處所，受善惡果之處所也。

The commentary states: Below, the nine and a half verses on what is now seen have five parts: the first half-verse on sentient beings in the six destinies; three verses on seeing buddhas; one verse on hearing the Dharma; one verse on seeing the four assemblies; four verses on seeing bodhisattvas; it does not versify entering extinction and raising stūpas. This is the first. "Places" means the retributions to which one is destined, because they are the places where karmic causes culminate. Alternatively, "places" means principles, because there is the principle that good causes induce good fruits and bad causes induce bad fruits. Alternatively, "places" means locations, the locations where one receives good and bad fruits.
