俱舍論記 9.78

9.78

"The mother at times […] the destiny toward which one is headed is hard to discern": this clarifies dying from difficulties before emerging from the womb. The mother at times overexerts in bodily postures of walking, standing, sitting, or lying down; or at times has food or drink excessively cold or hot; or at times engages in work excessively; or due to the power of the child's past sinful karma, it dies in the womb, even to the point of having its limbs dismembered and extracted outside. Yet this child in the womb, driven by past karma to be experienced in subsequent lives, has a destination among the three realms and five destinies that is hard to discern. Following this text, there are those who can only create completing karma experienced in the present life; they can create neither karma to be experienced in the next life nor in subsequent lives, whether completing or projecting—hence it speaks of "karma to be experienced in subsequent lives." Śālmali is the name of a grass whose juice is slippery; or it is the name of a tree.
