俱舍論疏 1.301

1.301

論「然毘婆沙至亦說燒衣」，下通牒《婆沙》通釋。故《婆沙》云「對法諸師說：若觀假蘊，彼說極微一界、一處、一蘊少分。若不觀者，彼說極微即是一界、一處、一蘊」者，觀假者觀待總聚假蘊，極微即是一分。不觀者，不觀待假聚，極微即是色界、色處、色蘊准此。一極微得名為蘊，故知蘊是其實。通云：此應於分假說有分者，極微是蘊一分而假。名蘊者，蘊是總名，是有分也。喻說可解。

[On the quote from the] *Śāstra*: “However, the *Vibhāṣā*… also speaks of burning clothes,” below is an overarching citation of the *Vibhāṣā* with a general explanation. Thus the *Vibhāṣā* says: “The masters of the Abhidharma say: If considering the nominal skandha, they say that an atom is one dhātu, one āyatana, and a small portion of one skandha. If not considering it, they say that an atom is precisely one dhātu, one āyatana, and one skandha.” ‘Considering the nominal’ means considering the nominal skandha that is an aggregate collection; an atom is then one portion. ‘Not considering’ means not considering the nominal collection; an atom is precisely the rūpa-dhātu, rūpa-āyatana, and rūpa-skandha, following this principle. Since a single atom obtains the name of a skandha, we know that a skandha is indeed real. To resolve this: here, one nominally speaks of the possessor of parts with respect to the part: an atom is a part of a skandha, and is nominally designated a skandha, where skandha is an overarching name, being the possessor of parts. The metaphorical explanation can be understood.
