17.38

若「爾便違至亦爾」者,破異說。本論中說:贍部洲人極少成八根,即是斷善人極少成八,謂身、命、意及五受根,如〈根品〉說。既言東西洲亦爾,明知彼洲亦能斷善。

"If so, then it contradicts [the basic treatise's statement: 'and the other two continents are likewise']": This refutes the heterodox opinion. In the root treatise it states: A human being of Jambudvīpa possesses at the very least eight faculties—namely, when a person who has severed the roots of good possesses at the very least eight, which are the faculties of the physical body, life, mind, and the five feelings, as explained in the "Indriya-nirdeśa". Since it says that the eastern and western continents are also like this, one clearly knows that [beings of] those continents can also sever the roots of good.
