阿彌陀經疏 1.16

1.16

第五文中有二功德，如變化功德化作眾鳥說妙法故。如論頌曰「種種雜色鳥，各各出雅音，聞者念三寶，忘想入一心」故。二、大義功德，無惡道等之名體故。如論頌曰「大乘善根界，等無譏嫌名，女人及根缺，二乘種不生」故。案云：經說無有惡道譏嫌，論顯無有人道譏嫌，互舉之爾，義如所說。

In the fifth passage there are two merits. First, the merit of manifestation, because of manifesting various birds that expound the wonderful Dharma, as the verse of the treatise says: "Birds of diverse and variegated colours / Each emit elegant sounds; / Those who hear them recollect the Three Jewels, / Relinquish conceptions, and enter the single mind." Second, the merit of great meaning, because the names and entities of the evil destinies and so forth do not exist, as the verse of the treatise says: "The realm of the Mahāyāna good roots / Is universally without despised names; / Women and those with defective faculties, / And the lineage of the two vehicles, are not born there." In examination: the sūtra speaks of having no despise of the evil destinies, while the treatise reveals having no despise of the human destiny; they merely mention them complementarily, and their meaning is as has been expounded.
