俱舍論記 17.42

17.42

「若爾便違至男根亦爾」者，破異說。本論中說：若成女根極少定成八根，謂女、身、命、意、四受，除憂。男根亦爾，除女加男。既說成女，不言定成信等五根，明知女身亦容斷善。若女不能斷善，豈得唯有八根？

"If so, then it contradicts [the statement that if one possesses the female faculty, one possesses at the very least eight faculties;] the male faculty is likewise": This refutes the heterodox opinion. In the root treatise it states: If one possesses the female faculty, one definitely possesses at the very least eight faculties, namely the female faculty, body, life, mind, and four feelings—excluding sorrow. The male faculty is also like this, exchanging the female [faculty] for the male. Since it says that one possessing the female faculty is not said to definitely possess the five faculties of faith and so forth, one clearly knows that the female body also allows the severance of the roots of good. If a woman were unable to sever the roots of good, how could she possess only eight faculties?
