說無垢稱經疏 6.712

6.712

贊曰：上付令行，下釋所以。有二：初明二人損益、後以人法付屬。初復有二：初明有損、後明有益。此初也。此有二人，一雖未發大心，已種勝善根。二若已發大心，勝解廣大，即地前位。十三住中地前諸心名勝解行，故勝解大。地前凡夫若不聞經，未發心者不能發心，已發心者不能進益，名退勝利。

Commentary: Above, [the Bhagavān] entrusted [the Dharma] to cause it to be practiced; below, he explains the reason. There are two parts: first, explaining the loss and benefit to two kinds of persons; second, entrusting the persons and the Dharma. The first part also has two parts: first, explaining that there is loss; second, explaining that there is benefit. This is the first. Here there are two kinds of persons: First, those who, although they have not yet generated the great aspiration, have already planted superior roots of good. Second, those who have already generated the great aspiration, whose resolute faith is vast and great—that is, the stages prior to the grounds (bhūmis). Among the thirteen abidings, the various mental states prior to the grounds are termed 'the practice of resolute faith'; therefore, their resolute faith is great. If worldlings prior to the grounds do not hear this sūtra, those who have not generated the aspiration will not be able to generate it, and those who have generated it will not be able to advance and benefit; this is called falling back from superior benefit.
