大般若波羅蜜多經般若理趣分述讚 2.55

2.55

讚曰：此十二緣起中，無明以癡為體，發業之惑。行通三業，非福及福、不動之業。此二皆通現行、種子。識唯本識。名色通五蘊。六處唯六根。觸受二法唯異熟性，當體為體。識支以下五唯種子。愛唯貪愛，以為自體，取通一切煩惱為性。此二亦通現行、種子。有體合用六支為體，謂愛、取二潤。前行等已下六支當果現起，後有果生說名為有。有唯是種子。從中有位至本有位未衰變來所有五蘊皆名生支。從衰變位乃至命終所有五蘊名為老死。謂由無明造善惡行熏於本識，與識等五相感屬已，愛取合潤，此前六支當果可生名之為有，趣相生起名之為生，衰變命終名之為死。十二有支體唯有漏，如《唯識》等廣說其相。

Commentary: Among these twelve [links of] dependent origination, ignorance has delusion as its substance; it is the affliction that generates karma. Formations comprise the three karmas, namely non-meritorious, meritorious, and immovable karma. Both of these [links] encompass active manifestations and seeds. Consciousness is only the fundamental consciousness. Name-and-form encompasses the five aggregates. The six sense bases are only the six sense faculties. The two dharmas of contact and feeling are exclusively of the nature of maturation, taking their own substance as essence. The five from the link of consciousness downward are exclusively seeds. Craving is exclusively greedy love taking this as its own nature; grasping takes all afflictions as its nature. Both of these also encompass active manifestations and seeds. Existence collectively takes six links as its substance; that is to say, the two—craving and grasping—moisten them. The six links from prior formations downward are made to manifest as future fruits, and the subsequent generation of the fruit is called 'existence'. Existence is solely seeds. From the state of the intermediate existence up to the state of fundamental existence prior to degeneration and change, all five aggregates are called the link of birth. From the state of degeneration and change up to the end of life, all five aggregates are called aging-and-death. That is to say, conditioned by ignorance, good and bad formations are generated and perfume the fundamental consciousness; after becoming associated with the five [links] beginning with consciousness, craving and grasping jointly moisten them; that these former six links can produce future fruits is named 'existence'; the arising of the characteristics of the destinies is named 'birth'; degeneration, change, and the end of life are named 'death'. The substances of the twelve links of existence are exclusively with effluents, as explained in detail in the Vijñaptimātratā[-siddhi] and other [texts].
