俱舍論疏 9.131

9.131

論「由中際廣至說便無用」，答也。《正理》論云「何緣現在諸煩惱位偏說於愛，非餘煩惱？於愛易了愛味過患，餘煩惱中此相難了。愛是能感後有勝因，世尊偏說，令知過患，云何當令勤求治道。故唯說愛剎那相續二位差別，非餘煩惱。有餘師說：一切煩惱初緣境時說名為愛，後增廣位說名為取。故佛雖說業因於愛，愛因無明，而實業因通一切煩惱，一切煩惱皆無明為因，故知愛聲通說諸惑。欲令因此總知過患，故以愛聲說諸煩惱，非餘煩惱招生劣故。有說愛聲唯說愛體，多現行故。由此於愛分別剎那相續差別（剎那名愛，相續名取）。雖非無此理，然前說為勝。」准此論文，評取前二釋也。

The Śāstra states: "Because the middle limit is expanded... up to 'the statement would be useless'": this is the answer. The Nyāyānusāra says: 'For what reason, among the states of defilement in the present, is craving singled out and not the other defilements? In craving, the relish and fault are easily understood, whereas among other defilements this characteristic is difficult to understand. Craving is the preeminent cause capable of bringing about future existence; the World-Honoured One singled it out to make its fault known, so that people might diligently seek the path of counteraction. Therefore, he spoke only of the distinction between the two states of craving—momentary and continuous—and not of the other defilements. Other masters say: When all defilements first encounter an object, they are called craving; in their later stage of increase and expansion, they are called grasping. Therefore, although the Buddha said that karma is caused by craving, and craving is caused by ignorance, in reality karma is caused by all defilements, and all defilements have ignorance as their cause; thus we know that the word "craving" broadly designates all defilements. Wishing thereby to make their faults collectively known, he used the word "craving" to refer to the defilements, not because the other defilements are inferior in producing birth. Some say the word "craving" refers solely to the entity of craving, because it is frequently manifest. For this reason, the distinction between momentary and continuous was made regarding craving (momentary being called craving, and continuous being called grasping). Although this principle is not without merit, the former explanation is superior.' Following this śāstra text, the judgment adopts the first two explanations.
