俱舍論疏 13.49

13.49

On the Śāstra's: "Due to the conjunction with the entity of fire ... what it accomplishes in that regard": The author of the Śāstra answers. The "entity of fire" is the aggregate of fire with visible color and shape beneath the cauldron. The "fire element" is the hot touch within the water. The "aggregate of water" is the aggregate of water with visible color and shape. The entity of fire produces the hot touch in the water; by virtue of the hot touch, it causes a cause of gradual diminution to arise in the subsequent moments of that aggregate of water, rather than being the cause of cessation for the water that has already arisen.
