俱舍論記 30.53

30.53

「如是憶知至心差別生」者，論主答。如是憶念、如是記知，從自相續內有念境想熏成種子，名念境相類。此種在心功能差別，名心差別。後之憶知，從此念境想類種子心中差別功能而生。經部念知無別有體，故想種生。又解：如是憶知，從相續身內念境類種、想境類種。境通兩處，此文但應言念類種，而言想者，想強別標。所以不言知境類者，知由念引，故不別言。故下論云「由此憶念力，有後記知生。」又解：憶念從念境類生，記知從想境類生，以經部知無別體故。此念想種熏在心中差別功能名心差別。現行憶念及與記知，從彼種生。

Regarding 'Such remembering and recognizing [...] arises from a specific state of mind': the author of the treatise replies. Such remembering and such recognizing are perfumed into seeds from the ideation of an object of mindfulness within one's own continuum, which is called 'homogenous with the object of mindfulness'. When these seeds reside in the mind, their specific capacity is called 'specific state of mind'. Subsequent remembering and recognizing arise from this specific capacity in the mind consisting of seeds homogenous with the ideation of the object of mindfulness. In the Sautrāntika view, mindfulness and recognition have no separate substantial entity, and therefore they arise from ideation-seeds. Alternatively, it is explained: such remembering and recognizing arise from the seeds homogenous with the object of mindfulness and the seeds homogenous with the object of ideation within the continuum of the body. 'Object' applies to both places; here the text should only say 'seeds homogenous with mindfulness', yet it says 'ideation' because ideation is strong and separately singled out. The reason it does not say 'homogenous with the object of recognition' is that recognition is induced by mindfulness, and so it is not separately mentioned. Thus the treatise below says: 'By the force of this remembrance, subsequent recognition arises.' Alternatively, it is explained: remembrance arises from what is homogenous with the object of mindfulness, while recognition arises from what is homogenous with the object of ideation, because according to the Sautrāntikas, recognition has no separate entity. The specific capacity perfumed into the mind by these seeds of mindfulness and ideation is called a 'specific state of mind'. The active states of remembering and recognizing arise from those seeds.
