俱舍論疏 23.111

23.111

論「經說正性至故名離生」，此釋正性離生名也。故《婆沙》云「復次見所斷惑，令諸有情墮諸惡趣受諸劇苦。譬如生食久在身中，能作種種極苦惱事，是故此惑說名為生。見道能滅，故名離生。復次有身見等剛強難伏，如狩𢤱悷，故說名生。見道能滅，故名離生。復次一切煩惱或諸貪愛，能令善根不得成熟，及令諸有潤令起過，皆名為生。見道起已，摧彼勢力令不復為增上生過，由此見道獨名離生。」

On the Śāstra's statement: "The sūtra speaks of correctness ... therefore it is called 'emergence from birth'": this explains the name 'noble emergence from birth' (*samyaktvaniyāma*). Thus the *Vibhāṣā* says: "Furthermore, the defilements abandoned by seeing cause sentient beings to fall into the bad destinies and suffer intense pain. Just as undigested food remaining long in the body can cause all kinds of extreme suffering and distress, so these defilements are called 'birth' (*āma*). The path of seeing can extinguish them; therefore it is called 'emergence from birth' (*niyāma*). Furthermore, the view of individuality and so on are stubborn and difficult to subdue, like untamed wild beasts; therefore they are called 'birth.' The path of seeing can extinguish them; therefore it is called 'emergence from birth.' Furthermore, all defilements or kinds of craving prevent the roots of goodness from maturing and moisten the states of existence so as to give rise to faults; all of these are called 'birth.' When the path of seeing has arisen, it destroys their power so that they no longer cause the faults of superior birth; on this account, the path of seeing alone is called 'emergence from birth.'"
