俱舍論記 1.95

### [1.95](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1821.1.95)

「此有為法至所吞食故」者，此有為法亦名世路。謂有為法於此世中行，過去法是已行性，現在法是正行性，未來法是當行性。諸不生法是彼類故，立名無失。以世為路，故名世路，有財釋也。故《正理》云「色等五蘊生滅法故，未來、現在、過去路中而流轉故。」又解：世無別體，依法而立。法是世所依，名之為路。謂過去法是世已行性，現在法是世正行性，未來法是世當行性。世之路故，名為世路，依主釋也。無常四相是能吞食，諸有為法是所吞食。此所吞食法是可破壞故名世，是無常所依故名路。即世名路，持業釋也。故真諦師云：「路為行所食。如萬里之路，行行不已，終路則盡極。五蘊亦爾，為無常所行故，終即滅盡。」

> Regarding "These conditioned dharmas ... because they are devoured": these conditioned dharmas are also called "paths of time" (adhva-saṃgata / adhvan). That is to say, conditioned dharmas travel within this time: past dharmas have the nature of having already traveled; present dharmas have the nature of currently traveling; future dharmas have the nature of being destined to travel. Non-arising dharmas belong to that same class, so establishing the name is without fault. Because time is their path, they are called the path of time: this is an exocentric compound (bahuvrīhi). Thus the Nyāyānusāra states: "Because the five aggregates of form and so forth are dharmas of arising and cessation, they transmigrate through the paths of the future, present, and past." Another explanation: Time has no separate entity, but is established depending upon dharmas. Dharmas are that upon which time depends, and are called the path. That is to say, past dharmas are the nature through which time has already traveled; present dharmas are the nature through which time is currently traveling; future dharmas are the nature through which time is destined to travel. Because it is the path of time, it is called the path of time: this is a dependent determinative compound (tatpuruṣa). The four characteristics of impermanence are the devourers, and all conditioned dharmas are that which is devoured. These dharmas that are devoured are destructible and are therefore called time; and because they are the basis of impermanence, they are called the path. Time itself is the path: this is an appositional compound (karmadhāraya). Thus Master Paramārtha said: "The path is consumed by walking. Just as on a road of ten thousand li, if one keeps walking without cease, the road ultimately comes to an end; so it is with the five aggregates: because they are traversed by impermanence, they ultimately perish."
