孤山《彌陀疏》曰「《鼓音王經》既有女人及惡逆者，豈非彌陀現穢土耶？天竺決疑曰：天親論女人根缺不生。鼓音王佛母，且指初降生時。成正覺已，國土隨淨，必無女人。其母或轉成男子，如此方龍女。或復命終，如悉達母。二家所說，天竺為正。以經所說遠離胞胎穢欲，佛勸人往生故，但對機不等，與諸經少差降耳。」

Gushan's Commentary on the Amitābha Sūtra says: "Since the Drum-Sound King Sūtra mentions both women and evil, rebellious persons, does this not mean that Amitābha manifests an impure land? The Resolution of Doubts by [the Master of] Tianzhu says: 'Vasubandhu's treatise states that women and those with defective sense faculties are not born there. The Drum-Sound King Buddha's mother refers only to the time of his initial descent and birth. Once he attained true awakening, the land became pure accordingly, and there are certainly no women. His mother either transformed into a man, like the Nāga girl in this realm, or her life came to an end, like Siddhārtha's mother.' Between what the two masters have stated, Tianzhu's is correct. Because the sūtra speaks of being far removed from the womb and from defiled desires, and the Buddha encourages people to seek rebirth there; it is merely that capacities differ, causing slight variations and concessions in comparison with other sūtras."
