俱舍論疏 18.120

18.120

論「八施者何至而行慧施」，列八名便釋莊嚴心也。《正理》云「為嚴心者，謂為引發信等聖財故行慧施。資助心者，謂欲滅除諸慳悋垢而行慧施。資瑜伽者，謂求定樂展轉生因而行慧施。謂由施故便得無悔，展轉乃至心一境性。得上義者，謂得涅槃，由初捨財，乃至展轉一切生死皆能捨故。又行慧施是勝生因，依此能引發證涅槃法故。」

Regarding the Śāstra's "What are the eight gifts?..." down to "...and practices wise giving": the names of the eight are listed, and then "adorning the mind" is explained. The *Nyāyānusāra* says: "'To adorn the mind' means practicing wise giving in order to arouse the noble wealth of faith and so forth. 'To assist the mind' means practicing wise giving wishing to eliminate the defilement of avarice. 'To assist yoga' means practicing wise giving seeking the joy of samādhi as an indirect generative cause. That is, due to giving, one attains freedom from remorse, progressing in turn up to one-pointedness of mind. 'To attain the supreme meaning' means attaining nirvāṇa, because from initially giving up wealth, one progressively is able to relinquish everything throughout saṃsāra. Furthermore, practicing wise giving is the cause of superior rebirth, and based on this, one can arouse the qualities that realize nirvāṇa."
