Atha vā apāyaggahaṇena
tiracchānayoniṃ dīpeti.
或以苦界一语说为畜界，
Ñ(XIII,93): Or alternatively, the
animal generation is indicated by the mention of states of loss;
Tiracchānayoni hi apāyo sugatito
apetattā, na duggati mahesakkhānaṃ nāgarājādīnaṃ
sambhavato.
因为畜界不是善趣故为苦界，又因有大威势故龙王等亦生其中故非恶趣。

of loss because it is removed from the happy destiny; but it is not
an unhappy destiny because it allows the existence of royal nāgas
(serpents), who are greatly honoured.

因为他不是善趣及生于苦趣，故为苦界及恶趣，但不是堕趣，

an unhappy destiny because it is removed from the happy destiny and
because it is the destiny of suffering; but it is not perdition
