四分律行事鈔資持記 2.451

2.451

隨釋中，初文。引律：極齊初後，總攝殺相。注中，初至所依，釋上初識。《大集經》云：歌羅邏時（此云雜穢，入胎七日，狀如凝酥，即凝滑也。），即有三事：一命，二煖，三識，出入息為命，不臭不爛為煖（業持火大，色不臭爛。）；此中，心意識為識，若壞凝滑，即壞識之所依，命煖隨謝，便名犯殺。乃至下，釋上後識。謂四大將解，識神未去，害亦成重；疏云：隨有煖處，識在其中，即識住處，為命根攝。其下，顯略。

In the sequential explanation, the first text: citing the Vinaya: strictly demarcating from the first to the last, it completely encompasses the marks of killing. In the interlinear note, from the beginning to "basis" explains the "first consciousness" above. The Mahāsaṃnipāta-sūtra says: at the stage of the kalala (here translated as "turbid impurity"; seven days after entering the womb, its form is like curdled butter, namely coagulated slippery substance), there are three things: first, life; second, warmth; third, consciousness. Inhalation and exhalation are life; not smelling foul and not decaying is warmth (karma maintains the fire element so the matter does not rot); herein, mind, intellect, and consciousness constitute consciousness. If the coagulated slippery substance is destroyed, the basis of consciousness is destroyed, and life and warmth fade away along with it; this is then called committing killing. Down to "…and so forth", it explains the "last consciousness" above. This means that when the four elements are about to dissolve and the conscious spirit has not yet departed, killing it also constitutes a grave offense. The commentary says: wherever there is warmth, consciousness is within it; the place where consciousness resides is encompassed by the life faculty. From "Its…" downward, it indicates an abbreviation.
