13.72

「語表業體謂即言聲」者，釋第十句。若依說一切有部釋，身表業髮、毛、爪等總名為身，長、短等色表示內心名表，表有造作名業。依身起表，即表名業，故名身表業。言語表業者，語謂言聲，聲能表示內心名表，表有造作名業。語即是表，表即業故，名語表業。言意業者，意謂意識，業即是思，由意起業，故名意業。故《正理》云「何故語表體即語言，身表意業非即身、意？以離語言無別聲能表，離身及意有色表思業，故立身業名從所依，語業約自性，意業隨等起。由此於中無相違過（已上論文）。」若依經部釋，身業表身同前解，表以假形為體，謂形相續能表示內心，此表即於色上假立。業謂運動身思，業依身門能起表故，名身表業。言語表業者，語謂音聲，表以音聲為體。謂聲相續能表示內心，此表即於聲上假立。業謂發語思業，依語門能起表故，名語表業。意業同前。

"The entity of vocal informative karma is speech-sound itself" explains the tenth line [of the verse]. If explained according to the Sarvāstivāda: regarding bodily informative karma, hair, fur, nails, and so forth are collectively called "body"; shapes such as long and short that indicate inner thought are called "informative"; and because information involves activity, it is called "karma." Information arises depending on the body, and this information is called karma; hence it is called "bodily informative karma." Regarding vocal informative karma: "vocal" refers to speech-sound; the sound can indicate inner thought, hence it is called "informative"; and because information involves activity, it is called "karma." Speech is itself information, and information is itself karma; hence it is called "vocal informative karma." Regarding mental karma: "mind" refers to mental consciousness, and karma is intention (cetanā); karma arises from the mind, hence it is called "mental karma." Therefore, the Nyāyānusāra states: "Why is the entity of vocal information itself speech, whereas bodily information and mental karma are not themselves body and mind? Because apart from speech there is no separate sound that can inform, whereas apart from body and mind there are visible matter that informs and the karma of intention; thus bodily karma is designated according to its support, vocal karma in terms of its intrinsic nature, and mental karma following its instigation. Consequently, therein there is no fault of contradiction (end of treatise text)." If explained according to the Sautrāntika: "body" in bodily karma is explained as before; information takes nominal shape as its entity, meaning the continuity of shapes can indicate inner thought, and this information is merely nominally established upon physical form. Karma refers to the intention that moves the body; because karma can initiate information depending on the bodily avenue, it is called bodily informative karma. Regarding vocal informative karma: "vocal" refers to sound, and information takes sound as its entity; meaning the continuity of sounds can indicate inner thought, and this information is merely nominally established upon sound. Karma refers to the karma of intention that produces speech; because it can initiate information depending on the vocal avenue, it is called vocal informative karma. Mental karma is the same as before.
