俱舍論記 3.22

3.22

"Over the commonality of sentient beings... [up to] each can function as a faculty": this explains the second verse. Because the life faculty exists, the commonality is able to endure; therefore, over the commonality of sentient beings, life has sovereign efficacy. Because of the five feelings, the defilements arise; therefore, in defilement the five feelings have sovereign efficacy. The cited proofs are clear. The sūtra speaks in terms of three feelings without mentioning grief and joy, because grief is subsumed under suffering, and joy is subsumed under pleasure. The five faculties beginning with faith have sovereign efficacy in purification: through the power of these wholesome faculties of faith and the rest, defilements are subdued and the noble path is induced to arise. The rest of the text is clear.
