首楞嚴義疏注經 10.84

10.84

此人於知見中不能決擇，有人問者，皆矯智亂答。言不死者，准《婆沙》說「外道計天常住名為不死，計不亂答得生彼天。若實不知而輒答者，恐成矯亂。故有問時，答言祕密不應皆說，或不定答。佛法呵云此真矯亂。」

This person is unable to discern decisively within his perception; when someone asks him, he invariably responds with deceitful cleverness and evasive answers. Speaking of 'deathless', according to the *Vibhāṣā*: 'Non-Buddhists conceptualize heaven as permanently abiding and call it "deathless", conceptualizing that through unconfused answers one can be born in that heaven. If one does not truly know and yet recklessly answers, one fears falling into prevarication. Therefore, when asked, one replies that it is a secret that should not be fully spoken of, or gives indefinite answers. The Buddhadharma rebukes this as true prevarication.'
