俱舍論疏 19.220

19.220

論「此四如次至謂答四問」，將欲釋記，先列問也。「此四如次」者，此四記如次對問也。如有問者，問死是一向記，問生是分別記，問勝是反詰記，我一異是捨置記。等者，等後兩句釋。《正理論》云「等言為攝有約異門（有就異門，即兩宗釋也）。記有四者，謂答四問（答問不同，名為四記）。」

Regarding the treatise passage: "These four are respectively ... that is, answering four questions": about to explain the answers, it first lists the questions. "These four are respectively" means these four answers correspond to questions respectively. For example, if someone asks about death, it is a definitive answer; if someone asks about rebirth, it is an analytical answer; if someone asks about being superior, it is a counter-questioning answer; if someone asks about the self being one or different, it is an answer of setting aside. "And so on" encompasses the explanations of the latter two lines. The Nyāyānusāra says: "The word 'and so on' is used to subsume the approach according to alternative perspectives (having recourse to alternative perspectives means the explanations of the two lineages). That there are four answers means answering four questions (because answering questions differs, they are called the four answers)."
