俱舍論疏 4.247

4.247

論「謂不獲一切至應名異生」，答也。謂總不獲一切聖法也。此不獲言，表離於獲故。若隨獲少多，即應言有簡別；既無簡別，但言不獲，故知此言表離於獲。此若不表離於獲者，此即諸佛亦不成就二乘聖法，應名異生。

[On the] Śāstra['s statement]: "It refers to non-acquisition of all [noble dharmas] … [the Buddhas] would also be called ordinary persons": This is the answer. It means not acquiring any noble dharma at all. This word 'non-acquisition' expresses being devoid of acquisition. If it were a matter of having acquired some, whether little or much, then there ought to be a qualification; since there is no qualification and it merely says 'non-acquisition', we know that this word expresses being devoid of acquisition. If this did not express being devoid of acquisition, then since the Buddhas also do not possess the noble dharmas of the two vehicles, they would have to be called ordinary persons.
