釋摩訶衍論 9.7

9.7

已說能作障礙假人門，次說顯示所作業用門。就此門中即有二種。云何為二？一者是總、二者是別。總相門中即有二門。云何為二？一者總相所作業用門、二者通達對治行法門。第一門者其相云何？所謂如上所說一切邪類，現六道像亂行者心故。今當作釋分明散說。若鬼及神多分造作地獄、餓鬼、畜生、阿修羅之四道亂行者心。如本若於坐中現形恐怖故。若魔多分造作天道亂行者心。如本或現端正故。若外道眾多分造作人道亂行者心。如本男女故。言等相者，即是同相，所謂造作同品依正亂行者心故。

Having explained the portal of provisional persons who can cause obstructions, next is explained the portal of revealing the functions that are performed. Within this portal there are two kinds. What are the two? First, general; second, specific. Within the portal of general characteristics, there are two portals. What are the two? First, the portal of the general characteristic of functions performed; second, the portal of the practice of penetrating the antidote. What is the characteristic of the first portal? That is to say, all the evil kinds explained above manifest the appearances of the six destinies to disturb the practitioner's mind. Now an explanation will be made and distinctly set forth. Ghosts and spirits mostly produce the four destinies of the hells, hungry ghosts, animals, and asuras to disturb the practitioner's mind. As the root text says: 'if during sitting [meditation] they manifest forms that cause terror.' Māras mostly produce the heavenly destiny to disturb the practitioner's mind. As the root text says: 'or manifest handsome and beautiful [forms].' Heterodox non-Buddhists mostly produce the human destiny to disturb the practitioner's mind. As the root text says: 'men, women, and so forth.' As for 'and other such appearances,' this refers to identical appearances; that is to say, producing identical environmental and bodily retribution to disturb the practitioner's mind.
