俱舍論記 20.26

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [20.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1821.20.26)

「尊者覺天至名母名女」者，能覺悟天，故名覺天。梵云勃陀提婆，勃陀名覺，提婆名天。舊云佛陀提婆，訛也。彼作是說：由觀待有別，故三世有異。彼謂諸法行於世時，前後觀待立名有異，觀待後故名過去，觀待前故名未來，俱觀待故名現在。如一女人觀待女名母，觀待母名女，體雖無別，由待有異，得母、女名。

> Regarding "Venerable Buddhadeva ... is called mother and called daughter": because he can awaken the gods, he is called Buddhadeva. In Sanskrit \*Buddhadeva\*: \*Buddha\* means awakened, and \*deva\* means god. The old translation \*fotuotipo\* was erroneous. He says: Due to difference in relative designation (apekṣā), there is distinction among the three periods of time. He maintains that when dharmas traverse the periods of time, establishing designations based on relative relation between before and after is different: relative to what comes after, it is called past; relative to what comes before, it is called future; relative to both, it is called present. Just as a single woman is called mother relative to her daughter, and called daughter relative to her mother; although the substance is not distinct, due to differences in relation, she obtains the names of mother and daughter.
