法華玄論 5.173

5.173

答：餘三亦自是濁。如短命惡時惡人，此皆是苦果，能令起煩惱及見，故是濁也。然於是相帶，不無強弱也。

Answer: The other three are also defilements of themselves. Such things as a short lifespan, an evil time, and evil persons are all painful retributions capable of causing afflictions and views to arise; hence they are defilements. However, they are mutually implicated, not without differences in strength.
