說無垢稱經疏 2.50

2.50

贊曰：此歎離諸惡果功德。怖畏惡趣者，謂三惡趣，三惡趣果可怖畏故。或八無暇名可怖畏，餘云惡道名為惡趣。或五怖畏名怖畏。雖初地離，今八地上復離其因，因果總盡，故今稱離。上生人天，故除惡趣。人天復有險惡深坑、無形二形黃門等類及女人等，並名人中惡趣。此難救度，故名深坑。深可怖畏，故名險穢，如險穢道亦如深坑。或起邪見謗無因果，名穢深坑。如上所說，並通惡果，今皆超之。舊經總言「關閉一切諸惡趣門」，義亦通也。

Commentary: This praises the virtue of leaving behind all evil results. 'Fears of the evil destinies' refers to the three evil destinies, because the results of the three evil destinies are terrifying. Or the eight non-leisures are called terrifying, and others refer to evil paths as evil destinies. Or the five fears are called fears. Although abandoned at the first bhūmi, now at the eighth bhūmi and above their causes are further abandoned; cause and result are entirely extinguished, hence now described as 'eliminated'. Ascending to rebirth among humans and devas, they thus eliminate the evil destinies. Among humans and devas there are also perilous and evil deep pits—such categories as the sexless, hermaphrodites, pandakas, and women—which are all called evil destinies among humans. Because these are difficult to rescue, they are called deep pits. Because they are profoundly terrifying, they are called dangerous and defiled, like a perilous and defiled road, and also like a deep pit. Or giving rise to wrong views that slander cause and effect as non-existent is called a defiled deep pit. What is spoken of above all extends to evil results; now they have transcended them all. The older translation collectively says 'closing the doors to all evil destinies', whose meaning also holds.
