俱舍論記 13.58

13.58

「為不已辨至理亦應然」者，經部復破。為不於前已辨此義，即多顯物安布差別假立長等、瓶盆等異。寄喻來況。如眾蟻等有黑相等而不差殊，然或有時長行、圓輪安布形別。離蟻等相外，無別行、輪。形依顯等，理亦應然，離顯等外無別有形。顯等，等取於觸。

On "Has it not already been explained ... the principle should likewise be so": The Sautrāntika refutes again: Has this point not already been explained above? It is precisely the differentiation in the configuration of multiple items of visible color that is nominally designated as 'long' and the like, or the difference between pots and basins. Drawing an analogy to illustrate: Just as a multitude of ants and the like have the same black appearance without difference, yet sometimes their configurations differ as a long line or a circular wheel; apart from the appearance of the ants and the like, there is no separate line or wheel. For shape being based on visible color and the like, the principle should likewise be so: apart from visible color and the like, there is no separate shape. 'Visible color and the like' includes touch by 'and the like'.
