大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 64.84

64.84

疏「復起」下，辯名色支。疏中二：先釋總句、後「所謂」下釋別句。總中，言「現行名等皆生老死」者，等取五果。謂識名色六入觸受，此五從初結生，直至於受，諸增長位總名為生，諸衰變位名之為老，蘊壞為死，不離此五。依三世說，現在五果即是過去生老死也。

On the commentary passage from “Arising again” onwards: it discriminates the link of name-and-form. In the commentary there are two parts: first, explaining the general sentence, and second, from “namely” onwards, explaining the specific sentences. In the general part, the statement that “the active manifestations of name and so forth all constitute birth, aging, and death” includes the five results under “and so forth.” That is, consciousness, name-and-form, the six sense bases, contact, and feeling—from the initial taking of rebirth right up through feeling, all the stages of increase and growth of these five are collectively termed 'birth'; all the stages of decline and alteration are termed 'aging'; and the dissolution of the aggregates is 'death.' They do not depart from these five. Explained according to the three periods of time, the five results of the present are precisely the birth, aging, and death of the past.
