無量壽經連義述文贊 3.141

3.141

經曰「佛言其三惡」至「患而苦之」者，述云：此第三、釋邪婬。有二：初、釋所捨。有三：初、牒釋。又有三：此初、釋惡也。處者天，天者性。又妷（與一反），樂也。唐者，虛也。眄者（眠見反），《說文》「邪視也」。又下戾，五戾反，《說文》「恨視也」。睞（力代反），《說文》「瞳子不正也」，《蒼頡篇》「內視也，傍視也」。細色者，好色也。態，古文㑷（他代反），意恣也，謂能度人情狀也。結者，期也。師（所飢反），四千人為軍，二千五百人為師，師十二匹馬也，五百人為旅也。強奪者，公然劫取。不道者，左道取物。貧無產業，故不自修業。唯外懷攝，故惡心在外。竊者私隱。趣者伺人不覺以求他物。舉之離本曰盜。擊者，司馬彪曰「擊動也」。恐者恐怖，熱者惱熱。苦具逼身曰迫，以威凌物曰愶。
