佛頂尊勝陀羅尼經教跡義記 2.131

2.131

述曰：第五、救生死難。《俱舍論》云：「生死者，譬之於海。由彼眾生沈溺於中，是故如海。」

The commentary states: The fifth is rescuing from the distress of birth and death. The Abhidharmakośa states: "Birth and death are likened to an ocean. Because those sentient beings sink and drown within it, it is like an ocean."
