俱舍論記 5.154

5.154

「論曰至由四隨相」者，就長行中，初釋頌本，後廣決擇。就釋頌本中，此釋初句。此四本相，由有隨相作標相故，故名有為。此中正明本相有為由四隨相，而言諸行有為由四本相者，相乘故說。雖復本相亦由本相，此中且對隨相以論。應知大少四相各有三名。大相三名者，一名本相，對隨相故，或是本法上相故言本相。二名大相，對小相故，或相八法故名為大相。三單名生等，對生生等故。小相三名者，一名隨相，隨本相故，或相隨本故。二名小相，形大相故，或相一法故，名為小相。三名生生等，對生等故。上生字是小生，下生字是大生，能生生故。又解：上生字是大生，下生字是小生，生之生故名為生生。如釋生生，餘三亦爾。

Regarding "The commentary says ... by four secondary characteristics": in the prose portion, the root verses are first explained, and then there is extensive resolution [of doctrines]. In explaining the root verses, this explains the first line. These four primary characteristics are called conditioned because they have secondary characteristics that serve as their designating marks. Here it is specifically explained that the primary characteristics are conditioned by virtue of the four secondary characteristics; that conditioned formations are conditioned by virtue of the four primary characteristics is stated by extension. Although the primary characteristics are also [conditioned] by virtue of primary characteristics, here they are discussed provisionally in contrast to the secondary characteristics. One should know that the four major and four minor characteristics each have three names. The three names of the major characteristics are: first, they are called "primary characteristics" in contrast to secondary characteristics, or because they are characteristics on the primary dharma, they are called primary characteristics; second, they are called "major characteristics" in contrast to the minor characteristics, or because they characterize eight dharmas, they are called major characteristics; third, they are simply named "origination," etc., in contrast to "origination-origination," etc. The three names of the minor characteristics are: first, they are called "secondary characteristics" because they follow along with the primary characteristics, or because they characterize by following the primary; second, they are called "minor characteristics" in comparison to the major characteristics, or because they characterize only one dharma, they are called minor characteristics; third, they are called "origination-origination," etc., in contrast to "origination," etc. The upper word "origination" is the minor origination, and the lower word "origination" is the major origination, because it can originate origination. Another interpretation: the upper word "origination" is the major origination, and the lower word "origination" is the minor origination; because it is the origination of origination, it is called "origination-origination." As with this explanation of origination-origination, the other three are also like this.
