阿彌陀經疏 1.75

1.75

From “When the Buddha expounded” onward, [part] two: the assembly rejoices and the gathering disperses. “Asura” translates as “non-god.” The wealth and pleasures of that realm are like those of gods, yet they are full of flattery and deceit and lack the conduct of gods; hence they receive this name. Having heard what they had never heard before, they “rejoiced, faithfully accepted [it].” Revering the Dharma and honoring the Teacher, they “made obeisance and departed.”
