俱舍論疏 2.3

2.3

The treatise says: "Furthermore, [...] how many are indeterminate?" Below this is the second major division, consisting of nineteen lines of verse, distinguishing the eighteen elements across various conceptual categories. The Nyāyānusāra says: "Because the faculties, objects, and consciousnesses are fully revealed within the elements, the conceptual categories are easily understood." Here they are analyzed provisionally in terms of the eighteen elements. Through this, the conceptual categories of the aggregates and sense bases are also established. This single verse makes distinctions across three categories: first asking, then answering in verse. This text is the question. In the verse, the first line concerns visibility (sanidarśana), the second line resistance (sapratigha), and the last two lines the three moral natures (kuśalāditva), as is clear from the text.
