俱舍論疏 4.111

4.111

論「應知此中至心追悔性」，廣釋體也。謂不稱情所作事業，名為惡作，非是不如理事名為惡作。如不善悔，緣善所作。能追悔心緣其惡作，從境為名。即是有惡作故名為惡作，是多財釋。准下三喻，有三義釋：一從所緣得名、二從所依得名、三從因受稱也。

[Regarding the phrase of] the treatise, "It should be known that here... the nature of mental remorse," [this] extensively explains the entity. That is, an action performed that does not accord with one's wishes is called 'badly done' (durkṛta), not that an action contrary to principle is called 'badly done.' As in the case of unwholesome remorse, which takes as its object what was done wholesomely: the mind capable of remorse takes its bad deed as object, and derives its name from the object. That is, because there is a bad deed, it is called regret; this is an analysis of possessive compounding (bahuvrīhi). In accordance with the three analogies below, there are three interpretations: first, obtaining its name from the intentional object; second, obtaining its name from its basis; third, receiving its designation from the cause.
