大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 71.40

71.40

疏「如人喜眠」者，即《涅槃》十九。大臣皆為闍王說此偈曰：「若常愁苦，愁遂增長。如人喜眠，眠則滋多。貪婬嗜酒，亦復如是。」疏「中有即是本有後故」者，以經文隨入後有，論判為中陰熏故。故《俱舍》云「本有謂死前，居生剎那後。」則本有即是今身，未至當有，於二中間說為中有。《俱舍》云「生死二有中，五蘊名中有」故。

Regarding the commentary’s “Just as a person who delights in sleep”: this is from the nineteenth chapter of the *Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra*. The ministers all spoke this gāthā to King Ajātaśatru: “If one is constantly sorrowful, sorrow then increases; / Just as with a person who delights in sleep, sleep becomes abundant; / Lustful indulgence and fondness for liquor are also like this.” Regarding the commentary’s “The intermediate existence follows upon the fundamental existence”: because the sūtra text says “subsequently entering subsequent existence,” the treatises explain it as perfuming by the intermediate state (antarābhava). Hence the *Abhidharmakośa* says: “The fundamental existence refers to the period before death, residing after the moment of birth.” Thus the fundamental existence is the present body; not yet having reached the future existence, the state between the two is termed intermediate existence. This is because the *Abhidharmakośa* says: “Between the two existences of birth and death, the five aggregates are called the intermediate existence.”
