俱舍論記 11.26

11.26

「頌曰至邏剎娑居」者，此即第四明四洲。就中，一明四洲、二明八中洲。印度國車，前狹後闊，故引為喻。菩薩最後所依身能持此定，及金剛座處能持此定，以無餘依身及餘處所有堅固力能持此定。此定力大，餘依餘處不能持也。八中洲者，遮末邏，此云猫牛。筏羅遮末羅，此云勝猫牛。提訶，此云身。毘提訶，此云勝身。舍搋，此云諂。嗢怛邏漫怛里拏，此云上議。矩拉婆，此云勝邊。憍拉婆，此云有勝邊。於二說中初說為正，故《婆沙》一百七十二云「此八洲中人形短小」，如此方侏儒。有說：七洲是人所住，遮末邏洲唯邏剎娑居。有說：此所說八，即是四大洲之異名，以一一洲皆有二異名故。如是說者，應如初說。

"The verse says […] inhabited by rākṣasas": this is the fourth, explaining the four continents. Within this: first, explaining the four continents; second, explaining the eight intermediate continents. Indian carts are narrow in front and broad in the back, hence they are cited as an analogy. The bodhisattva's final physical support can sustain this samādhi, and the place of the diamond seat (vajrāsana) can sustain this samādhi, because no other physical support or other location possesses the steadfast strength to sustain this samādhi. The power of this samādhi is great; other physical supports and other locations cannot sustain it. Regarding the eight intermediate continents: Cāmara translates here as 'Yak-tail'; Varacāmara translates here as 'Superior Yak-tail'; Deha translates here as 'Body'; Videha translates here as 'Superior Body'; Śāṭha translates here as 'Deceitful'; Uttaramantrina translates here as 'Superior Council'; Kurava translates here as 'Superior Border'; Kaurava translates here as 'Possessing a Superior Border'. Between the two explanations, the first explanation is correct; thus the Mahāvibhāṣā fascicle 172 says: "The bodies of the people in these eight continents are short and small," like dwarfs in this land. Some say: seven continents are inhabited by humans, while Cāmara Continent is inhabited solely by rākṣasas. Some say: these eight mentioned here are alternative names for the four great continents, because each and every continent has two alternative names. Those who speak in this way should follow the first explanation.
