俱舍論疏 13.47

13.47

論「設於火焰至生滅因異」，此即縱破正量部也。火焰前後念念別故，容可滅下因與生中因別。正量部計，許灰、雪、酢、日、水、地無剎那滅，前後體一，能令薪等熟變。滅下中因與生中上因，如何得異？

On the Śāstra's: "Even if, with regard to the flame of fire ... the causes of arising and cessation are different": Here [the author] hypothetically concedes [this] to refute the Sammatīya. Because the earlier and later moments of a flame differ moment by moment, it is conceivable that the cause of lower cessation differs from the cause of middling arising. But the Sammatīya system maintains that ash, snow, vinegar, sun, water, and earth lack moment-by-moment cessation, their substance being unitary before and after, yet capable of causing mature transformation in fuel and the like. How could the causes of lower and middling cessation differ from the causes of middling and higher arising?
