俱舍論記 2.14

2.14

「應知此中至說餘無對」者，泛明有對總有三種應知。此頌中唯就障礙有對而說故，但言十有色有對。極微集成更相障故，由此義准說餘無對。又《正理》第四云「言有色者，謂除無表，餘色蘊攝。變礙名色，有變礙義故名有色。有說：色者謂能示現在此彼言，有此彼言故名有色。有說：諸色有自體故，名為有色。稱說易故，唯於色體說有色言。」解言：初解有變礙色用，故言有色。第二師有能示現色言，故名有色。第三師體即是色，故言有色。問：第二師於十色中色界可說有示現言，餘九不爾，如何可說有示現言？如何言色？解云：餘九雖不可見，而亦可說在此、在彼，如言此處有眼、耳等。又解：餘九相從說故，隨色可得說在此彼。

"It should be known that herein ... the rest are spoken of as resisting nothing" means: generally explaining that there are three kinds of resistance in all, it should be known that in this verse it is spoken of only in terms of obstructive resistance; hence it merely says ten possessing form are resistant. Because the aggregation of atoms mutually obstruct one another, by this implication the rest are spoken of as resisting nothing. Furthermore, Nyāyānusāra, fascicle 4, states: "Speaking of 'possessing form' means that, excluding avijñapti, it is subsumed under the remaining form aggregate (rūpa-skandha). Changing and obstructing is called form; because it has the meaning of changing and obstructing, it is called possessing form. Some say: form means speech that can indicate 'here' or 'there'; possessing this speech of 'here' and 'there,' it is therefore named possessing form. Some say: forms possess their own essence, and are therefore named possessing form. Because it is easy to speak of, the expression 'possessing form' is used only with respect to the essence of form." Explanation: The first explanation refers to possessing the function of form that changes and obstructs, hence it says possessing form. The second master refers to possessing the words that can indicate form, hence it is named possessing form. The third master refers to the essence being form itself, hence it says possessing form. Question: In the view of the second master, among the ten forms, the form-realm can be spoken of as having indicative words, but the other nine cannot; how can they be spoken of as having indicative words? How can they be called form? Explanation: Although the other nine are invisible, they can also be spoken of as being here or there, just as one says "in this place there are eyes, ears, and so forth." Another explanation: because the other nine are spoken of by association, following form they can be said to be here or there.
