說無垢稱經疏 3.347

3.347

贊曰：自下第七，命大無滅，初命、後詞。此初命也。梵云阿泥律陀，此云無滅。相傳釋云：八萬劫前曾為供養一辟支佛，所得善根于今不滅，故名無滅。又《譬喻經》云「毘婆尸佛入涅槃後，阿泥律陀曾入佛堂以為劫賊，見燈將滅，遂抽一箭挑燈便明。見佛威光，面色毛竪。念言：『他尚施物求福，我云何盜？』遂捨而去。以此善根，九十一劫常生善處。今得值我，得是天眼，所獲福果曾無滅盡。」故言無滅。是佛當弟。又傳經云：世尊父叔，總有四人：一名淨飯王，有二子，大名薩縛曷剌他志陀，此名一切義成，即是佛也；二者難陀。二名斛飯王，亦有二子，大名天授，即是提婆達多；小名阿難陀。三名白飯王，亦有二子，大名阿泥律陀，小名摩訶男。四名甘露飯王，亦有二子，大名拔提，小名提沙。此之八子，皆悉出家。彼阿泥律陀，佛處聽法，坐下睡眠。如來呵責：「咄咄！何為睡眠？螺蚌之類。」無滅慚愧，聞法悲淚，多日不睡，遂便喪眼。後問耆婆，耆婆問其初患因緣，彼便具報。耆婆答言：「眠是眼食，多時不睡，眼便餓死。求差甚難。」遂修天眼，得見大千。人得天眼，應成二眼，人眼雖無，天眼見物半見半無，因有說言半頭天眼。今命之也。

The Commentary says: From this point onward is the seventh [disciple], appointing the Great Aniruddha. First is the appointment, and then the declining words. This is the first, the appointment. The Sanskrit name is Aniruddha, which here translates as 'Without Extinction' (Wumie). The traditional interpretation says: Eighty thousand eons ago, he once made an offering to a pratyekabuddha, and the roots of goodness he obtained have not been extinguished down to the present day; hence he is named 'Without Extinction.' Furthermore, the Avadāna-sūtra says: 'After the Buddha Vipaśyin entered nirvāṇa, Aniruddha once entered a shrine hall as a robber. Seeing that a lamp was about to go out, he pulled out an arrow and trimmed the wick, whereupon it became bright again. Seeing the majestic radiance of the Buddha, the hair on his face and body stood on end. He thought: "Others give things to seek merit, so how could I steal?" Thereupon he abandoned it and left. By virtue of this root of goodness, he was constantly reborn in good destinies for ninety-one eons. Now he has met me and obtained this divine eye, and the fruitional merit he has acquired has never been extinguished.' Therefore he is called 'Without Extinction.' He is the Buddha's paternal cousin. Furthermore, the sūtras transmitted say: The Bhagavat's father and uncles numbered four men in all: the first was named King Śuddhodana, who had two sons—the elder named Sarvārthasiddha, which means 'Accomplishing All Aims,' who was the Buddha; the second was Nanda. The second was named King Droṇodana, who also had two sons—the elder named Devadatta, which is Tiantshou; the younger named Ānanda. The third was named King Śuklodana, who also had two sons—the elder named Aniruddha, the younger Mahānāma. The fourth was named King Amṛtodana, who also had two sons—the elder named Bhadrika, the younger Tiṣya. All eight of these sons left the household life. When that Aniruddha was listening to the Dharma at the Buddha's place, he sat and fell asleep. The Tathāgata reprimanded him: 'Woe, woe! Why do you sleep? You are of the kind of clams and snails!' Aniruddha was ashamed, wept tears of grief upon hearing the Dharma, and did not sleep for many days, whereupon he lost his sight. Later he asked Jīvaka. Jīvaka inquired about the circumstances of the initial affliction, and he reported them in full. Jīvaka answered, saying: 'Sleep is the food of the eyes. Not sleeping for a long time causes the eyes to starve to death. Seeking a cure is extremely difficult.' He then cultivated the divine eye and came to see the great trichiliocosm. When a human obtains the divine eye, it should become two eyes; although his human eyes were gone, his divine eye saw things partly visible and partly non-existent, and for this reason there is the saying of the 'half-headed divine eye.' Now the Buddha appoints him.
