俱舍論記 17.83

17.83

「北俱盧洲至隨其所應」者，釋第四、第五句。北洲貪、嗔、邪見業道皆定成就，以未斷故而不現行，不攝我所故貪不現行。雖行欲等亦有貪染，輕非業道。身、心柔軟故無惱害事，故瞋業道不現行。無惡意樂故，邪見業道不現行。唯雜穢語通現行、成就，由彼有時染心歌詠，故有雜穢。餘六業道俱非成、現。所以者何？無惡意樂故，彼無殺生等六。此即通釋。又別釋云：壽量定千歲故，無殺業道。無攝受自、他財物故，無盜業道。無攝受女人為妻妾故，無邪行業道。身、心愞故，無麁惡語。又《正理》云「言語清美故，無麁惡語。以無用故，無虛誑語及離間語。」又《正理》云「無誑心故，無虛誑語。常和穆故，無離間語。隨義配釋，故言隨其所應。」

"In Uttarakuru, up to according to their applicability": this explains the fourth and fifth lines. In the northern continent, the paths of action of covetousness, malice, and wrong view are all definitively possessed, but because they have not been severed, they are not active; because they do not appropriate [possessions as] 'mine', covetousness is not active. Although they engage in desire and the like, they also have covetous attachment, but being mild, it is not a path of action. Because body and mind are gentle, there are no matters of harm; hence the path of action of malice is not active. Because there is no evil intention, the path of action of wrong view is not active. Only idle talk is universally active and possessed: because they sometimes sing with an impassioned mind, there is idle talk. The remaining six paths of action are neither possessed nor active. Why is that? Because they lack evil intention, there is no killing, etc., among those six. This is the general explanation. Furthermore, a specific explanation says: because their lifespan is fixed at a thousand years, there is no path of action of killing. Because they do not appropriate property of their own or others, there is no path of action of theft. Because they do not appropriate women as wives or concubines, there is no path of action of sexual misconduct. Because body and mind are soft, there is no harsh speech. Furthermore, the *Nyāyānusāra* says: 'Because their speech is clear and sweet, there is no harsh speech. Because it is useless, there is no false speech or divisive speech.' Furthermore, the *Nyāyānusāra* says: 'Because they lack a deceitful mind, there is no false speech. Because they are constantly harmonious, there is no divisive speech. They are interpreted according to their appropriate meaning, hence it says "according to their applicability".'
