法華文句記 1.101

1.101

次釋「我聞」中三：初、辨互異；次、「今例」下，準例如是；三、「大論」下，正釋。初因緣中先明世界，初引論釋，云「耳根不壞等」者，先舉根塵，根即清淨四大，處者塵也。非餘闕緣故云可聞，雖復可聞須發意識，故云「欲聞」。更藉諸緣故下，總云眾緣和合，但除空緣也。

Next, in explaining 'I heard', there are three parts: first, distinguishing mutual differences; next, from 'Now by analogy' onward, providing analogies according to the pattern of 'Thus'; third, from 'The Great Treatise' onward, the main explanation. First, under conditioning, he first clarifies the worldly [siddhānta]. First, citing the treatise's explanation, where it states 'The auditory faculty is unimpaired, etc.', he first adduces the faculty and object. The faculty is the purified four elements; the 'place' is the object. It is not that other requisites are missing; therefore it says 'audible'. Although it is audible, the mental consciousness must be aroused; hence it says 'wishing to hear'. Because it further relies on various conditions, below it summarizes by saying 'the conjunction of multiple conditions', merely excluding the condition of space.
