俱舍論記 3.11

3.11

「命根二者至及能持」者，此解命根於二增上：一由命根故於眾同分能令續前；二由命故於眾同分能持不斷。能續望前。能持據現。

Regarding [the passage] "The two of the life faculty are... and being able to sustain": this explains the two kinds of predominance of the life faculty: first, by reason of the life faculty, it is able to continue what preceded with respect to the commonality of sentient beings (nikāya-sabhāga); second, by reason of life, it is able to sustain without interruption with respect to the commonality of sentient beings. Being able to continue is in relation to the preceding; being able to sustain is based on the present.
