俱舍論疏 5.252

5.252

論「又諸念聲至可由語發」，難無生理。一念之聲未能詮表，多念之聲乃能呼召，故知多念之聲乃有名也。前後念聲剎那已滅不可聚集，又不可說一字之名分分漸生，進退徵難無其生理，如何可說由語發耶？

On the Śāstra's statement: "Furthermore, sounds of multiple moments [...] can be produced by speech": Refuting the principle of its generation as non-existent. A sound of one moment cannot express; only the sounds of multiple moments can denote; therefore we know that only sounds of multiple moments have names. But sounds of earlier and later moments perish moment by moment and cannot aggregate; nor can one say that the name of a single word is generated gradually part by part. Pressing the dilemma, there is no principle for its generation; how then can it be said to be produced by speech?
