23.142

以不生長至亦能浮者,答。一以不生長退墮業故、二違彼生長業與果故、三強盛善根鎮彼身故、四身語加行及與意樂俱清淨故、五諸有決定墮惡趣業尚不起忍況得預流。以劣況勝,故有頌言「愚作罪小:亦墮惡趣。無慚愧故:智為罪大。」亦能解脫惡趣苦果,有慚愧故。喻況可知。引此頌意,凡夫愚人名退墮法,聖者智人名無退墮。凡雖亦有不墮惡趣,以少不定,故不名為無退墮法。問:聖亦起惑,何非墮退?解云:雖起修惑,無見惑助,故不能感三惡趣也。故《婆沙》一百二十五云「由二部結縛諸有情令墮惡趣,謂見所斷、修所斷結。諸預流者雖未永斷修所斷結,而已永斷見所斷結,闕一資糧不墮惡趣。如車二輪有所運載,鳥有二翼能飛虛空,闕一不然。此亦如是,故預流者不墮惡趣。然有說者,愚者墮惡趣,智則不然,一切預流是智者故。」廣如彼釋。

[On the passage] from "Because of not producing and augmenting" down to "can also float": this replies. First, because of not producing and augmenting karma that causes falling [into bad destinies]; second, because of counteracting that karma which produces and augments, as well as its fruition; third, because powerful roots of goodness suppress that person's body; fourth, because bodily and vocal application as well as intentional disposition are both pure; fifth, because with regard to karma that determinately causes falling into bad destinies, one does not even give rise to forbearance (kṣānti), how much less could one attain stream-entry! Using the inferior to illustrate the superior, therefore a verse states: "A fool who commits a small sin / Also falls into the bad destinies; / Because he lacks shame and remorse. / A wise one who commits a great sin / Can also be liberated from the painful fruit of bad destinies, / Because he possesses shame and remorse." The analogy is readily understood. The intention of citing this verse is: the foolish worldling is called 'one of falling dharma', while the noble, wise person is called 'one of non-falling'. Although among worldlings there are also those who do not fall into bad destinies, because it is rare and indeterminate, they are not called 'those possessing the dharma of non-falling'. Question: The noble one also gives rise to defilements; why is he not subject to falling? Explanation: Although he gives rise to defilements abandoned through cultivation, without the assistance of defilements abandoned through seeing, they cannot induce [rebirth in] the three bad destinies. Therefore, the Mahāvibhāṣā, fascicle 125, states: "By bonds of two divisions sentient beings are bound and caused to fall into the bad destinies: namely, the bonds abandoned through seeing and the bonds abandoned through cultivation. Although stream-enterers have not yet eternally severed the bonds abandoned through cultivation, they have already eternally severed the bonds abandoned through seeing; lacking one requisite, they do not fall into bad destinies. Just as a cart with two wheels can transport a load, or a bird with two wings can fly in the empty sky, if one is lacking, it cannot be so. This is also like that; therefore, stream-enterers do not fall into bad destinies. However, some say: the fool falls into bad destinies, but the wise does not, because all stream-enterers are wise persons." It is extensively explained as in that text.
