俱舍論記 1.136

1.136

「執受大種至非有情名」者，此即別釋，如文可知。問：此論言有情名聲謂語表業者，何故《正理》第一云「此語表業復有二種，謂依名起及不待名起。依名起者復有二種：一者有記、二者無記。不待名者二種亦然。」准彼論文，有語表業非與名合，如何乃言有情名聲謂語表業？解云：但言有情名聲是語表業，非言一切語表業皆是有情名。如有語表，無名合者即是非有情名聲，依名起者謂有詮表。不待名起者，謂嗔咲等聲。故不相違。又問：語皆業不？解云：口內者是語亦業，出口者是語非業。故《正理》六十解發語風中云「此居口內名語亦業，流出外時但名為語。」又以此文亦可證有離質聲也。

"Grasped great elements [...] not designated as sentient": this is the specific explanation, which can be known from the text. Question: This treatise states that sound designated as sentient refers to vocal communicative karma; why does the Nyāyānusāra, fascicle 1, state: "This vocal communicative karma is again of two kinds: namely, that arisen depending on nominal designators and that arisen without relying on nominal designators. That arisen depending on nominal designators is again of two kinds: first, determined, and second, undetermined. The same applies to the two kinds that do not rely on nominal designators"? Conforming to that treatise's text, there is vocal communicative karma that is not conjoined with nominal designators; how can one say that sound designated as sentient refers to vocal communicative karma? Explanation: It only says that sound designated as sentient is vocal communicative karma, not that all vocal communicative karma is designated as sentient. If there is vocal communication that is not conjoined with nominal designators, that is sound designated as non-sentient; arisen depending on nominal designators means having expressive designation; arisen without relying on nominal designators refers to sounds of anger, laughter, etc. Therefore there is no contradiction. Another question: Is speech in all cases karma? Explanation: What is within the mouth is speech and also karma; what has exited the mouth is speech and not karma. Therefore the Nyāyānusāra, fascicle 60, in explaining the wind that issues speech, states: "While abiding inside the mouth, it is called speech and also karma; when flowing out to the exterior, it is only called speech." Moreover, by this text it can also be proven that there is sound separated from the physical substance.
