無量壽經連義述文贊 2.75

經曰「假令有佛」至「堅正不却」者，述云：此第三、歎願勝也。佛者即佛寶，大聖者僧。有說：供養斯等亦兼僧寶。非也，雖復斯等而言諸佛故、即知向上之等故。今即佛者所供養，大聖者能供養。無量大聖雖供多佛，而有邊故，不如求佛心不退還，以無邊故。却者，退也。

On the passage where the sūtra states, "Even if there were buddhas..." up to "firm and upright, not retreating": The commentary states: This is, thirdly, praising the superiority of the vow. "Buddhas" refers to the Buddha jewel; "great sages" refers to the Saṅgha. Some say: Making offerings to these also includes the Saṅgha jewel. That is not so; although it says "these," it speaks of "buddhas," so one knows it refers to the aforementioned. Now, "buddhas" are those who are offered to, while "great sages" are those capable of making offerings. Even though immeasurable great sages make offerings to many buddhas, they are still limited; this does not compare to seeking buddhahood with a non-retrogressing mind, because that is boundless. Que means "to retreat."
