大般涅槃經集解 11.65

11.65

Sengzong states: 'Falling' is spoken of in three places: the first two are places where retribution for offenses is undergone; the latter speaks of the inevitability of falling. Sengzong [also] states: Here 'falling' is clarified threefold: first, generally regarding the minor and grave; next, specifically clarifying the grave; and finally, clarifying 'falling' in terms of causes.
