Gushan's commentary says: "Saying that one cannot obtain birth with few roots of goodness conversely reveals that one can obtain birth with many roots of goodness. 'Few roots of goodness' refers to making vows casually and reciting the name with a scattered mind. 'Many roots of goodness' refers to upholding the name and fixing a period of days. 'Holding' means grasping and receiving; 'maintaining' means carrying on without interruption. Due to the power of faith one grasps and receives it in mind; due to the power of mindfulness one maintains it without forgetting."
