俱舍論記 8.113

8.113

「如是所說至謂除前相」者，明七識住、四識住互有寬狹四句差別。七識住體寬處狹，四識住處寬體狹。四句，如文可知。第三句中既言七中四蘊，《正理》又說四識住唯是有情，明知七識住亦唯有情。若以九有情居對四識住互有寬狹，還成四句。第一句有九非四，謂九中識。第二句有四非九，謂三惡趣及第四定中無想天所不攝餘天色、受、想、行。第三句有九亦四、謂九中四蘊。第四句有非九非四、謂除前相。

Regarding "What has been stated [...] that is, excluding the previous characteristics": this clarifies the four alternatives concerning the relative breadth and narrowness between the seven stations of consciousness and the four stations of consciousness. The substance of the seven stations of consciousness is broad while their locations are narrow; the locations of the four stations of consciousness are broad while their substance is narrow. The four alternatives can be known from the text. In the third alternative, since it says "the four skandhas among the seven," and the Nyāyānusāra also says that the four stations of consciousness belong only to sentient beings, it is clear that the seven stations of consciousness also belong only to sentient beings. If one compares the nine abodes of sentient beings with the four stations of consciousness in terms of their relative breadth and narrowness, they also form four alternatives: The first alternative has nine and not four: namely, consciousness within the nine. The second alternative has four and not nine: namely, the form, feeling, perception, and formations of the three miserable destinies and of the remaining heavens in the fourth dhyāna not subsumed under the heaven of non-conception. The third alternative has both nine and four: namely, the four skandhas within the nine. The fourth alternative has neither nine nor four: namely, excluding the previous characteristics.
