俱舍論疏 16.99

On the Śāstra's passage: "From 'Lying, divisive speech...' to '...because these three are accomplished'": This clarifies that the three vocal karmapathas are brought to culmination by the three roots. Certain masters give three explanations: the first says they are proximate-cause-originated; the second says they are moment-originated; the third says they apply to both origins. [The author's] own evaluation states: "Among the three explanations, the first explanation is unreasonable, while the latter two explanations may both be correct." Now, examining the intention of the Śāstra, it is moment-originated and does not admit the other explanation. How is this known to be so? In [the discussion of] "co-functioning of intention", where it speaks of "two co-functioning", it means that at the time of a hateful mind, the karma of killing is brought to culmination, and if at a stage where greed arises, taking what is not given or sexual misconduct is accomplished. Where it speaks of "three co-functioning", it means that with a hateful mind toward what belongs to another, killing and stealing are simultaneously brought about. If so, what was said—that the karmapatha of stealing is brought to culmination by greed—would logically not be established. Because it is said that it is brought to culmination by an act performed with the same mind, it is stated thus; you should know that this is a definitive rule. In accordance with the above text of the Śāstra, culmination is precisely the time of co-functioning. Furthermore, the Nyāyānusāra states: "The three, greed, hatred, and so forth, are each brought to culmination by the root of delusion, because these three do not arise for one who is free from delusion. Others explain this by saying: It is said that this dharma is brought to culmination by this [root] because its very self, upon arising, is itself the karmapatha. Because their reasoning was exhausted, they made such an explanation; yet in truth, precisely when greed and the rest are present, fortunately there is the root of delusion that is able to bring it to culmination. For what reason is grasping the self-entity not accepted? Because in the other karmapathas, it is brought to culmination by another." In accordance with the above text of the Śāstra, being simultaneous with the karma is called culmination. All these refer to doing it oneself with the same mind, not to dispatching another or becoming the same mind after acting oneself, and so forth. In accordance with the above text of the Śāstra, the moment-originated is called culmination. All these are what the verse refers to: "Hatred is brought to culmination by hatred; greed is brought to culmination by greed." This differs from the first master of the Nyāyānusāra and agrees with the second master.
