俱舍論疏 18.6

18.6

On the Śāstra's statement, 'Because the cause takes the name of the effect, or because it is capable of splitting': This is the answer. Because of the false speech, that Saṃgha is split. False speech is the cause and the schism of the Saṃgha is the fruit; the cause takes the name of the fruit, so it is called 'causing a schism in the Saṃgha.' Alternatively, 'capable of splitting' means that because false speech has the functional capacity to split the Saṃgha, it is called causing a schism in the Saṃgha. Named after its function, it is called 'causing a schism in the Saṃgha.'
