俱舍論疏 15.184

15.184

論「應知如是至業所引故」，釋中有所造十一位受名現業也。問：中有定業唯是順現法受，中有不定業於何時受？答：亦容餘身受也。《正理論》云「類同分者，謂人等類，非趣非生。以約趣、生，中有、生有同分異故。若十一種不定業，或此身十一位受，或餘身十一位受（已上論文）。」問：何故中有唯造順現受業，不造餘也？答：一解，亦能造餘，此中但欲明十一種業是順現受故，不說餘也。二解，中有之中唯求此生有身，不求餘身故，唯造順現法業，不造生、後。色界中有既有善心，故知亦造順現受業。然無諸位，略而不論。問：此論云「中生一同分」者，是何同分？若是四生同分，中有是化、生有是胎等。若五趣同分，中有非趣。若類同分，中、生類別。今言一者，為是何耶？答：一業引故同分是一，非謂生、趣、類同分一。

From the treatise's "It should be known that in this way..." to "...projected by karma," this explains that the experience across the eleven stages performed in the intermediate existence is designated as present karma. Question: The determinate karma of the intermediate existence is only experienced in the present life; when is the indeterminate karma of the intermediate existence experienced? Answer: It may also be experienced in other bodies. The Nyāyānusāra says: "Homology of category refers to categories such as humans, not to destinies or births; because in terms of destinies and births, the homologies of intermediate existence and birth existence are different. The eleven kinds of indeterminate karma may be experienced in the eleven stages of this body, or in the eleven stages of other bodies (thus far the treatise text)." Question: Why does the intermediate existence only perform karma experienced in the present and not perform the others? Answer: One explanation is that it can also perform the others; here it merely intends to clarify that the eleven kinds of karma are experienced in the present, and therefore does not mention the others. A second explanation is that within the intermediate existence one only seeks the body of this birth existence and does not seek other bodies; therefore, it only performs karma of the present life and does not perform [karma of the next] life or subsequent [lives]. Since the intermediate existence of the form realm has virtuous thoughts, it is known that it also performs karma experienced in the present life; however, having no various stages, it is omitted and not discussed. Question: When this treatise says "intermediate and birth [existences share] a single homology," what homology is this? If it were the homology of the four modes of birth, the intermediate existence is apparitional, while the birth existence is from a womb, etc. If it were the homology of the five destinies, the intermediate existence is not a destiny. If it were the homology of category, intermediate and birth are distinct categories. Now in saying 'single', what is meant? Answer: Because they are projected by a single karma, the homology is single; it does not mean that the homology of birth, destiny, or category is single.
