瑜伽論記 11.219

11.219

受生願中，云隨順饒益有情諸善趣中者，問：何以此中不言隨順生惡趣中？基師解云：有二意。一、謂善趣利多惡趣利少略不論也；二、順八相唯在善趣故。又惡趣無自在為王等化故。又說：善趣時意顯生惡趣從勝處說唯論善趣。

In the aspiration for rebirth, regarding the phrase 'accord with benefiting sentient beings in the various good realms of rebirth': Question: Why is it not mentioned here to accord with being born in the evil realms? Master Ji explains: There are two intentions. First, benefits are manifold in good realms and few in evil realms, so it is omitted and not discussed. Second, conforming to the eight phases [of a Buddha's life] occurs only in good realms. Furthermore, in evil realms there is no mastery to transform sentient beings as a king, etc. Moreover, when good realms are spoken of, the intent includes being born in evil realms, yet it is spoken of only in terms of the superior place, thus discussing only good realms.
