3.41

什曰:刪闍夜,字也。毘羅胝,母名也。其人起見,謂要久逕生死彌歷劫數,然後自盡苦際也。肇曰:刪闍夜,字也。毘羅胝,其母名也。其人謂道不須求,逕生死劫數,苦盡自得。如轉縷丸於高山,縷盡自止,何假求耶?

[Kumāra]jīva says: Sañjaya was his personal name; Belaṭṭhi was his mother's name. This man gave rise to the view that one must inevitably pass through saṃsāra for a long duration, traversing kalpas, after which the limit of suffering will naturally come to an end. [Seng]zhao says: Sañjaya was his personal name; Belaṭṭhi was his mother's name. This man asserted that the path does not require seeking: passing through the kalpas of saṃsāra, when suffering is exhausted one will naturally attain it. It is like rolling a ball of thread down a high mountain: when the thread is exhausted, it stops on its own—why resort to seeking?
