俱舍論疏 19.90

19.90

On the text stating, "Because it is perishable (sat)... only then does one cling to a self": the author of the treatise cites the Sautrāntika explanation, which is clear from the text. The *Nyāyānusāra* refutes this, saying: "If so, what is the use of prefixing the sound *sat*? The word *kāya* alone would suffice to exclude permanence, and one should therefore only establish the name *kāyadṛṣṭi*. No non-existent phenomenon is eternal yet capable of aggregation; what is the use of marking the body with the sound of 'perishing'?"
