觀無量壽佛經疏 2.52

2.52

三、從時阿闍世聞此語下，至欲害其母已來，正明世王瞋怒。此明闍王既聞門家分疏已，即於夫人，心起惡怒，口陳惡辭。又起三業逆，三業惡。罵父母為賊，名口業逆。罵沙門者，名口業惡。執劍殺母，名身業逆。身口所為以心為主，即名意業逆。又復前方便為惡，後正行為逆。言我母是賊已下，正明口出惡辭。云何罵母為賊？賊之伴也。但闍王元心，致怨於父，恨不早終。母乃私為進糧，故令不死。是故罵言：我母是賊，賊之伴也。言沙門惡人已下，此明闍世瞋母進食，復聞沙門與王來去，致使更發瞋心。故云有何呪術，而令惡王多日不死？言即執利劍已下，此明世王瞋盛，逆及於母。何其痛哉，撮頭擬劍，身命頓在須臾。慈母合掌，曲身低頭，就兒之手。夫人爾時熱汗遍流，心神悶絕。嗚呼哀哉！怳忽之間，逢斯苦難。

Third, from 'At that time Ajātaśatru, having heard these words' down to 'wished to kill his mother', clearly explains the king's wrath. This explains that after King Ajātaśatru heard the gatekeepers' explanation, he immediately conceived evil wrath in his mind against the lady and uttered evil words with his mouth. Furthermore, he gave rise to the rebellious acts of the three karmas and the evils of the three karmas. Cursing one's father and mother as bandits is called verbal karma of rebellion. Cursing the monks is called verbal karma of evil. Grasping a sword to kill one's mother is called physical karma of rebellion. What is done by body and speech takes mind as its master; thus it is called mental karma of rebellion. Moreover, the preceding expedients are evil, and the subsequent actual deed is rebellion. The words from 'My mother is a bandit' downward clearly explain the evil words proceeding from his mouth. Why does he curse his mother as a bandit? She is a companion of bandits. Ajātaśatru's original intent was directed in resentment against his father, regretting that he did not pass away sooner. The mother, however, secretly brought rations to him and thereby kept him from dying. Therefore he cursed her, saying, 'My mother is a bandit, a companion of bandits!' The words from 'The monks are evil men' downward explain that Ajātaśatru was enraged that his mother brought food, and further hearing that the monks came and went to the king, this caused his wrathful mind to flare up all the more. Thus he said: 'What incantations do they possess that they have kept the wicked king from dying for so many days?' The words from 'He then grasped a sharp sword' downward explain that the king's wrath was intense, and his rebellion extended to his mother. How painful it was! Grasping her by the hair, he raised his sword; her physical life was poised on an instant. The loving mother joined her palms, bent her body, lowered her head, and yielded to her son's hand. At that time, hot sweat poured all over the lady's body, and her mind swooned. Alas, how sorrowful! In an instant, she met with such distress and tribulation.
