無量壽經連義述文贊 2.68

2.68

經曰「戒聞精進」至「殊勝希有」者，述云：第三、歎意業。有二：初、歎業勝，即菩提品也；後、歎果勝，即果果斷也。初又有二：此初、歎涉事勝也。戒即業體，以思種故。聞精進等即業眷屬，餘不能齊，故云無侶。侶，亦匹也。佛德過餘，故云希有。

On the passage where the sūtra states, "Precepts, learning, vigor..." up to "surpassingly superior and rare": The commentary states: The third is praising mental karma. There are two parts: first, praising the superiority of karma, which is the factors of awakening; second, praising the superiority of the fruit, which is the cessation of the fruits of fruits. The first also has two parts: this is the first, praising superiority in engaging with affairs. Precepts are the essence of karma, because of the seed of volition. Learning, vigor, and so forth are the retinue of karma; others cannot equal them, so it says "without companion." "Companion" also means "peer." The Buddha's virtues surpass those of others, so it says "rare."
