俱舍論記 12.101

12.101

「德法有殊至及縷生衣等」者，勝論救義。德句義法而有差別。如聲熟等可有從彼異類而生，實句義法而即不爾。種芽地大俱是實句攝，各自分生。又引事證，世間現見實句中法唯從同類生，如從眾藤生一總支，支謂藤圜，擬安鉢等。彼宗離藤別有支體，體俱地大竝實句收，故說此藤生同類支。亦如眾縷生一總衣，彼宗離縷別有衣體，俱是地大竝實句收，故說此縷生同類衣。此二竝是同時生也。又藤與支、縷之與衣，形狀相似，以見藤時亦即見支、見縷之時亦即見衣，故言相似。

"There is a difference in the dharmas of quality […] and threads producing cloth, and so forth": The Vaiśeṣika defends his position: The dharmas of the category of quality have differences. Dharmas such as sound and maturation may arise from that which is of a different kind, but the dharmas of the category of substance are not like that. Both the seed and the sprout's earth element are subsumed under the category of substance, and each arises from its own parts. Furthermore, adducing factual evidence, it is seen directly in the world that dharmas within the category of substance arise only from their own kind, as from many vines arises a single overall ring-stand—a stand refers to a coiled vine ring intended for setting bowls upon and so forth. In their school, distinct from the vines, there is an entity of the ring-stand; their substances are both earth element and both are subsumed under the category of substance; hence it is said that these vines produce a stand of the same kind. It is also like many threads producing a single overall cloth; in their school, distinct from the threads, there is an entity of the cloth; they are both earth element and both are subsumed under the category of substance; hence it is said that these threads produce cloth of the same kind. Both of these are produced simultaneously. Furthermore, the vines and the stand, or the threads and the cloth, are similar in form: because when one sees the vines, one also sees the stand, and when one sees the threads, one also sees the cloth; hence they are said to be similar.
