大般涅槃經疏 28.24

28.24

「我於經中」下，第十四爭論明有心數無心數。薩婆多別有異體心數一時俱起；僧祇說無心數；佛陀提婆無異體，起亦相次，前起為心、後起為數，《成論》同之。就文為二：前明無心數、次明有心數。就明無中二：先舉聖人十二因緣。次正明凡夫十二因緣，於中又二：先明後即前、次明前生後。既其相即，即是一也，故無心數。初文可細尋之。從「受因緣」下，二明前生後，須細尋。釋此中言受，或謂以未來生支為受，非今世支。「我於經中作如是說」下，二執有心數。亦具約五陰十二緣明其相可見，雖復相生而不相即，故是別有心數不同。

From "In the sūtras, I" below, this is the fourteenth debate, clarifying whether there are mental factors or no mental factors. For the Sarvāstivādins, there are distinct mental factors of separate essence that arise simultaneously together; the Mahāsāṃghikas say there are no mental factors; for Buddhadeva, they have no separate essence and their arising is also sequential—what arises first is the mind, and what arises later is the mental factor, and the *Tattvasiddhi-śāstra* agrees with this. With respect to the text, there are two parts: first clarifying that there are no mental factors, and next clarifying that there are mental factors. Within the clarification that there are none, there are two parts: first adducing the twelve links of dependent origination of the noble ones. Next, it directly clarifies the twelve links of dependent origination of ordinary beings, within which there are also two parts: first clarifying that the later is identical to the earlier, and next clarifying that the earlier gives rise to the later. Since they are mutually identical, they are one; hence there are no mental factors. The first text can be carefully examined. From "conditioned by sensation" below, the second clarifies that the earlier gives rise to the later; this must be carefully examined. To explain the mention of "sensation" here, some say that it takes the future link of birth as sensation, not the link of the present life. From "In the sūtras I spoke in this way" below, the second clings to there being mental factors. It also fully clarifies that their characteristics can be seen in terms of the five aggregates and the twelve conditions; although they give rise to each other, they are not mutually identical, and therefore there are distinctly different mental factors.
