疏「各有三品二地已說」者，彼經云「十善業道是人天，乃至有頂處受生因。」意明下品十善是人因，中品十善是欲天因，上品十善是色無色界因。下辨三乘，除如來因，皆同上故。其十惡業略有三種。經云「佛子！此菩薩摩訶薩又作是念：十不善業道，上者地獄因、中者畜生因、下者餓鬼因。」皆三品也。

> Regarding "Each has three grades, as already explained in the Second Ground" in the commentary: that sūtra states: "The path of the ten wholesome karmas is the cause of taking rebirth among humans and devas, up to the summit of existence." The intended meaning clarifies that the lower grade of the ten wholesome deeds is the cause for humans, the medium grade of the ten wholesome deeds is the cause for the desire devas, and the upper grade of the ten wholesome deeds is the cause for the form and formless realms. In clarifying the three vehicles below, except for the cause of the Tathāgata, all are identical to the above. The ten unwholesome karmas broadly have three kinds. The sūtra states: "Sons of the Buddha! This bodhisattva-mahāsattva further reflects: 'Among the paths of the ten unwholesome karmas, the upper is the cause for the hells, the medium is the cause for animals, and the lower is the cause for hungry ghosts.'" All are of three grades.
