20.189

論「稽留有情至故名為漏」,上總釋名。如堤塘漏水,有其二義:一者住義,即是留住生死之義;二是流義,即是於生死中流轉。「於六瘡門泄過無窮」者,正明漏也。

The Śāstra says: "They detain sentient beings, up to 'hence they are called outflows (āsrava)'"—the above generally explains the name. Just as a dike leaks water, there are two meanings: first is the meaning of abiding, which is the meaning of detaining them in saṃsāra; second is the meaning of flowing, which is drifting and turning within saṃsāra. "Discharging inexhaustible faults through the six wound-gates" directly clarifies the outflows.
