俱舍論疏 10.242

10.242

論「若水火風至故得斷名」，釋斷名也。風、水、火等能觸便命斷，名斷末摩。非謂如斬薪等分為二分名之為斷。《正理論》云「好發語言譏刺於彼，隨實、不實傷切人心，由此當招斷末摩苦。」

On the passage in the treatise from "If water, fire, or wind" to "hence it receives the designation of 'severing'": this explains the designation of "severing." Wind, water, fire, and so forth can bring about the cessation of life upon contact; this is called "severing the marman." It does not mean being divided into two parts like chopping firewood, which is called severing. The Nyāyānusāra states: "Being fond of uttering words to mock and prick others, wounding and cutting people's hearts whether based on fact or not: due to this, one shall incur the suffering of having the marman severed."
