俱舍論記 26.97

26.97

Regarding the passage from "Cause, origination, production, and condition" up to "differ from the treatise": The author of the treatise sets forth the Sautrāntika explanation. The four aspects of the truth of origination—cause, origination, production, and condition—are explained as in the sūtra: The five clinging-skandhas have craving as their root; a root can generate and grow, which is the meaning of cause. They have craving as their origination; origination can bring about the fruit. They have craving as their class; class means variety, which refers to the manifold conditions. They have craving as their production; production means bringing forth the fruit. Among these four, the word "production" alone should be known to be stated after "condition", which differs from the treatise, because the treatise states "production" as the third. Cause, origination, production, and condition all take craving as their essence.
