俱舍論記 5.128

5.128

「《發智論》說至彼言何義」者，此舉《發智》文責其說意。問：如下俱非害中，欲界說有多種，一起便住義與彼同，何故但說無想、滅定？解云：二定攝無心全，是故別說；餘各有心少分，是故不說。又解：二定不損壽命，是故別說。如人應受百年命根，至年五十入彼二定，設經千年方始出定，不食段食，還更受餘五十年命。餘即損命，故不別說。問：入二定經多時命，是何業果耶？解云：准前延命。或是入定前遠加行欲界善思現業果，或是殘業果，或是不定業果。又解：由定力資過去業令引命長。然更勘文。又《婆沙》一百五十一云「問：欲界不入二無心定，亦有不隨緣轉，何故不說？答：應說而不說者，當知此義有餘。有說：此中說決定者，謂若住二無心定，壽行決定不隨緣轉，餘或隨緣是故不說。有說：欲界雖復更有不隨緣轉，然為顯示二定威力，故偏說之。

"The Jñānaprasthāna-śāstra states… what is the meaning of that statement?" cites the text of the Jñānaprasthāna to interrogate the intended meaning of its statement. Question: As in the case of 'neither can be harmed' below, many types are mentioned in the Desire Realm; their meaning of enduring once arisen is the same as that, so why are only the non-conceptual attainment and the cessation attainment mentioned? The explanation is: these two attainments entirely subsume the mindless state, which is why they are specifically mentioned; the others each possess some portion of mind, which is why they are not mentioned. Another explanation: these two attainments do not impair life; therefore they are specifically mentioned. For example, if a person destined to receive a lifespan of one hundred years enters those two attainments at age fifty, even if a thousand years pass before emerging from the attainment, without eating solid food, he will still receive the remaining fifty years of lifespan. Others impair life, and therefore are not specifically mentioned. Question: As for the lifespan lasting for a long time when entering these two attainments, the result of what karma is it? The explanation is: by analogy with the previous prolongation of life, it is either the visible result of the wholesome volition of the Desire Realm in the remote preparation prior to entering the attainment, or the result of residual karma, or the result of indeterminate karma. Another explanation: through the power of concentration, past karma is aided, causing it to project a prolonged life. However, one should further check the texts. Furthermore, the Mahāvibhāṣā, fascicle one hundred and fifty-one, says: "Question: In the Desire Realm, when not entering the two mindless attainments, there are also cases of not shifting in accordance with conditions; why are they not mentioned? Answer: What should have been stated but was not stated—you should know that this meaning has something remaining. Some say: What is spoken of here as definitive is that if one abides in the two mindless attainments, the formations of life definitively do not shift in accordance with conditions, whereas others may shift in accordance with conditions, which is why they are not mentioned. Some say: Although in the Desire Realm there are yet others that do not shift in accordance with conditions, in order to display the mighty power of the two attainments, they are mentioned exclusively."
