俱舍論記 27.116

27.116

「於三示導至最勝非餘」者，釋下三句，校量勝劣。於三示導教誡最尊，唯此定由通所成故，定能引他人、天利益果，及取涅槃安樂果故。由決定故，故名最尊。謂前神變、記心二導，呪術亦能，不但由通，故非決定。如有呪術名健駄梨，持此便能騰空自在，如神境通。健駄是國名，此國所出名健駄梨。又真諦云：「有女天名健駄梨，翻為持地。此呪是健駄梨所說，從能說女天為名，故稱健駄梨。」復有呪術名伊剎尼，持此便能知他心念，如他心通。伊剎尼，此云觀察。又真諦云：「伊剎尼是論名，是露形外道師所造，翻為觀察。此呪從彼所造論為名，故稱伊剎尼。」教誡示導除漏盡通，餘呪術等必不能為，故是決定。又前神變、記心二導，有但令他暫時迴心，非引勝果。教誡示導不但令他迴心趣正，亦定令他引當來世人、天利益果，及涅槃安樂果。以能如實方便說故，由是教誡三示導中最尊最勝，非餘神變、記心二導。言教誡者，教謂教授，誡謂誡勗。

On "Among the three demonstrations ... is the most supreme, not the others": this explains the lower three lines, assessing their relative superiority. Among the three demonstrations, admonition is the most venerated, because it alone is definitively accomplished through supernormal power, and definitively brings about the fruit of benefit for others in human and heavenly realms as well as the acquisition of the fruit of peaceful happiness in nirvāṇa. Because it is definitive, it is called the most venerated. The preceding two demonstrations, psychic power and thought-reading, can also be performed by spells (vidyā) and do not rely solely on supernormal power; thus they are not definitive. For example, there is a spell named Gāndhārī; one who holds this can soar freely in the sky, like the supernormal power of psychic transformation. Gāndhāra is the name of a country, and what originated from this country is named Gāndhārī. Paramārtha also says: "There is a goddess named Gāndhārī, translated as Earth-Holder. This spell was spoken by Gāndhārī, taking its name from the goddess who could speak it, and is therefore called Gāndhārī." There is also a spell named Īkṣaṇī; one who holds this can know the thoughts of others, like the supernormal power of knowing another's mind. Īkṣaṇī is translated here as 'observation'. Paramārtha also says: "Īkṣaṇī is the name of a treatise composed by a naked non-Buddhist teacher, translated as 'observation'. This spell takes its name from the treatise composed by him, and is therefore called Īkṣaṇī." The demonstration of admonition, aside from the supernormal power of the destruction of contaminants, definitely cannot be performed by other spells or methods, and is therefore definitive. Furthermore, the preceding two demonstrations of psychic power and thought-reading may merely cause others to turn their minds temporarily, without bringing about the superior fruit. The demonstration of admonition not only causes others to turn their minds toward the right, but also definitively causes them to bring about the fruit of benefit in future human and heavenly realms, as well as the fruit of peaceful happiness in nirvāṇa. Because it can be spoken in accordance with truth and expedient means, admonition is therefore the most venerated and supreme among the three demonstrations, not the other two demonstrations of psychic power and thought-reading. Regarding "admonition" (教誡), "教" means instruction, and "誡" means exhortation and warning.
