俱舍論疏 14.26

14.26

「論曰至故名尸羅」，第一正名也。《正理論》云「以清涼故名曰尸羅。此中尸羅是平治義，故字相處作是釋言：平治義中置尸羅戒，能平險業故得尸羅名（解云：險業是惡戒也。平治熱恨惡戒，故名清淨）。」此有六名：一名尸羅、二名妙行、三名為業、四名律儀、五名別解、六名業道。

"The treatise says: […] therefore it is called śīla" is the first, giving the primary names. The Nyāyānusāra says: "Because it is cooling, it is called śīla. Here śīla has the meaning of leveling and correcting (śamana/śīlana); therefore, in treatises on etymology, the explanation is given thus: 'In the sense of leveling and correcting, the precept of śīla is established; because it can level precipitous [bad] karma, it obtains the name śīla.' (The commentary explains: Precipitous karma is bad discipline. Leveling the bad discipline of burning torment, it is therefore called pure.)" It has six names: first, śīla; second, good conduct (sucarita); third, action (karma); fourth, discipline (saṃvara); fifth, individual liberation (prātimokṣa); sixth, course of action (karmapatha).
