俱舍論記 3.70

3.70

「彼阿羅漢至猶如捨眾病」者，答。彼阿羅漢自觀住世於他利益安樂事少，又見聖教有人住持，或為病等苦逼自身。言病等者，等取營事等四。故《婆沙》六十云「又契經說：由五因緣，令時解脫阿羅漢退、隱沒、忘失。云何為五？一多營事業、二樂諸戲論、三好和鬪諍、四喜涉長途、五身恒多病。」引此頌意，明阿羅漢捨壽。梵行，謂持戒。聖道，謂無漏聖道。

"That arhat [...] just like casting off a host of illnesses": the answer. That arhat observes for himself that his remaining in the world would bring little benefit and ease to others, and furthermore sees that there are people to uphold the noble teachings, or his own body is oppressed by the suffering of illness and the like. "Illness and the like" includes four other factors such as engaging in business. Therefore, the *Mahāvibhāṣā*, fascicle 60, says: "Furthermore, a sūtra says: Due to five conditions, an arhat liberated by occasion falls away, declines, and forgets. What are the five? First, engaging in much worldly business; second, delighting in conceptual proliferation; third, being fond of reconciling disputes; fourth, being pleased to undertake long journeys; fifth, the body being constantly afflicted with much illness." The intention of quoting this verse is to clarify the arhat's discarding of life. "Holy life" refers to upholding the precepts. "Noble path" refers to the uncontaminated noble path.
