俱舍論記 15.97

15.97

「三由作業至後更不作」者，三由作業斷壞故捨。以此無表由作業得，謂作善業、或作惡業，善如禮讚等、惡如捶打等，無表隨轉。如先所受善業、惡業，今作是念：後更不作。無表便捨。本由作業得此無表，今捨作業，無表亦捨。故《正理》云「三由作業斷壞故捨。謂雖不捨根本受心，然更不為所受作業，唯除忘念而不作者。以此無表期加行生，絕加行時無表便捨。」問：受心亦要期，作業亦有期心，此二何別？解云：受心據意以論，作業據身、語以說。又解：受心誓受即得，作業作乃方成。又解：受心雖亦有彼作業，受心強勝，無表但從受心得故，但名受心，不名作業。作業雖亦有彼期心，作業強勝，無表但從作業得故，但名作業，不名受心。《婆沙》名加行捨，《雜心》名捨方便，名異義同。

"Third, due to action... does not perform it thereafter": this means abandonment due to the severance and destruction of action. Because this avijñapti is obtained through action—that is, performing good karma or bad karma, good like bowing and praising, bad like beating and striking—avijñapti follows and turns with it. As with the good karma or bad karma undertaken earlier, now one thinks: "I will not perform it hereafter." The avijñapti is then abandoned. Originally, one obtained this avijñapti through action; now that one abandons the action, the avijñapti is also abandoned. Thus the Nyāyānusāra says: "Third, abandonment due to the severance and destruction of action. That is, although one does not abandon the fundamental mind of undertaking, yet one no longer performs the undertaken action, excluding only the case of not performing it due to forgetfulness. Because this avijñapti is generated by an intended preliminary activity, when the preliminary activity is cut off, the avijñapti is then abandoned." Question: The mind of undertaking also involves a commitment, and action also involves an intending mind; what is the difference between these two? The explanation is: the mind of undertaking is discussed based on the mind, whereas action is spoken of based on body and speech. Another explanation: the mind of undertaking is obtained as soon as one vows and takes it upon oneself, whereas action is only accomplished upon being performed. Another explanation: although the mind of undertaking also has that action, the mind of undertaking is predominant, and since avijñapti is obtained solely from the mind of undertaking, it is only called "the mind of undertaking", not "action". Although action also has that intending mind, action is predominant, and since avijñapti is obtained solely from action, it is only called "action", not "the mind of undertaking". In the Mahāvibhāṣā it is named "abandonment of preliminary activity"; in the Saṃyuktābhidharmahṛdaya it is named "abandoning expedient means"; the names differ, but the meaning is the same.
