維摩經略疏垂裕記 8.115

8.115

三、「問不至增乎」，二：初、舉事。二、「淨名」下，表法，二：初、歷土示義。「善星調達」者，《大經．迦葉品》云「善星雖復讀誦十二部經、獲得四禪，親近惡友退失四禪，生惡邪見，說無佛無法無有涅槃。善星今者近在尼連禪河，佛與迦葉共到彼所，善星遙見佛來生邪惡心，生身陷入阿鼻地獄。」調達墮獄，如前記。「尸利鞠多」，《莊嚴論》明尸利毱多長者受外道囑令殺佛，與雜毒於飯中請佛食。佛知，令阿難唱僧跋已方食，唱已毒散。「退法人」者，即退法羅漢，遇緣退為初果也。「而三乘至亦得有三」者，荊溪云：五人位別，稟教不同，故云利鈍。已得位不退者，若約三土明三不退，即其土中猶有二退：若破塵沙得行不退；若破無明得念不退，即入果報。果報一向是念不退，況餘二耶。約土既然，從位可識。「皆是損損」者，若此言之，方便亦應唯有損損，文且寄於二種退義名損增耳，其實不可更為增病。「或約出入觀義立三句」者，暹云：入觀為增損，出觀為損增；入更無出，直至念不退，名為損損也。

Third, from "Question: Does it not reach increase?": in two parts: first, citing phenomena. Second, from "Jingming" downward, expressing the Dharma, in two parts: first, sequentially showing the meaning according to the lands. As for "Sunakkhatta and Devadatta": the Mahāparinirvāṇa Sūtra, "Kāśyapa Chapter," says: "Although Sunakkhatta recited the twelve divisions of the canon and attained the four dhyānas, he drew close to evil friends, retrogressed from the four dhyānas, gave rise to evil false views, and said there is no Buddha, no Dharma, and no nirvāṇa. Sunakkhatta is now near the Nerañjarā River. The Buddha and Kāśyapa went together to that place. Sunakkhatta, seeing the Buddha coming from afar, gave rise to an evil mind, and in his living body fell into Avīci Hell." Devadatta's falling into hell is as recorded before. As for "Śrīgupta": the Zhuangyan lun clarifies that the elder Śrīgupta was commissioned by non-Buddhists to kill the Buddha; he mixed poison into the food and invited the Buddha to eat. The Buddha knew it, and ordered Ānanda to chant the saṃghabhatta before eating; after it was chanted, the poison dispersed. As for "a person who regresses from the Dharma": this is an arhat who regresses from the Dharma, who upon encountering conditions regresses to become a first-fruit [noble one]. As for "Yet the three vehicles up to can also have three": Jingxi says: The stages of the five persons are distinct and the teachings they receive are different, hence they are called sharp and dull. As for those who have attained non-retrogression of stage: if according to the three lands one explains the three non-retrogressions, within that land there are still two retrogression [types]: if breaking [the delusions of] dust and sand, one attains non-retrogression of practice; if breaking ignorance, one attains non-retrogression of mindfulness, which is entering [the land of] fruition reward. Fruition reward is entirely non-retrogression of mindfulness, how much more so the other two! Being so according to lands, it can be known from the stages. As for "all are diminution-diminution": if stated thus, the [land of] expedients should also only have diminution-diminution; the text merely borrows the meaning of the two kinds of retrogression to name them diminution-increase; in reality, they cannot further become an increasing illness. As for "or establishing three clauses according to the meaning of entering and emerging from contemplation": Daoxian says: Entering contemplation is increase-diminution; emerging from contemplation is diminution-increase; entering with no further emergence, directly reaching non-retrogression of mindfulness, is named diminution-diminution.
