俱舍論疏 10.228

10.228

論「已說有情至有死生等」，自此已下兩行半頌大文第三明死生受識等。《正理論》云「今應思擇，於前所說中等四有，死、生二有唯一剎那，於此時中何識現起？此識復與何受相應？定心、無心得死生不？住何性識得入涅槃？於命終時識何處滅？斷末摩者其體是何？」此論略故，舉前二問等後問也。

On the treatise's statement, "Having already explained sentient beings ... death, rebirth, and so forth exist": from here down, two and a half verses constitute the third major section, clarifying death, rebirth, feelings, consciousness, and so forth. The Nyāyānusāra states: "Now we should examine: among the previously described four states of existence, including intermediate existence, the two existences of death and rebirth last for only a single moment. At this time, which consciousness manifests? Furthermore, with which feeling is this consciousness associated? Can death and rebirth occur in a mind in meditative concentration or a mind without consciousness? In what nature of consciousness does one abide to enter nirvāṇa? At the time of life's end, where does consciousness cease? What is the substance of the severance of the vital points (marman)?" Because this treatise is brief, it poses the first two questions, with "and so forth" standing for the subsequent questions.
