俱舍論疏 19.4

19.4

Regarding the treatise passage from "It was said before that the differences in the world..." up to "how many anuśayas are there?", the text of this chapter is broadly divided into two: first, explaining the substance and function of the defilements; second, explaining the differences in their abandonment. Within the former section, it is subdivided into four: first, explaining the anuśayas; second, a miscellaneous explanation of various defilements; third, distinctions by analytical categories; fourth, a separate explanation of the five hindrances (nīvaraṇa). Within the explanation of anuśayas: first, explaining their substance and number; second, explaining them sequentially by essential examples; third, distinctions regarding their binding by conditions and so forth. Within the section on substance and number: first, explaining the six anuśayas; second, explaining the seven taught in the sūtra; third, dividing the six into ten; fourth, dividing them into ninety-eight. This single verse has two meanings: first, explaining that karma depends upon anuśayas to be able to bring about existence; second, explaining the six anuśayas. First, the preceding context is taken up to raise the question; next, the verse is cited to answer; thereafter, the prose commentary explains it. This is the question. Within the question, there are two parts: first, asking about karma's reliance on anuśayas; second, asking about the substance and number of anuśayas. In the verse of four lines, the first line answers the former question, and the lower three lines answer the latter question.
