俱舍論疏 2.54

2.54

On the Śāstra's: "Vicāra in the desire realm... because it is associated only with vitarka": this is the fourth part, explaining vicāra. Vicāra in the intermediate dhyāna is without vitarka and without vicāra; in the desire realm and the first dhyāna it has vitarka and lacks vicāra; the rest is explained by analogy with vitarka. Here there are four alternatives in total: 1. having vitarka and having vicāra, 2. without vitarka and only with vicāra, 3. without vitarka and without vicāra, and 4. without vicāra and only with vitarka. Because the method is formulated according to the levels, the order of the four alternatives differs from other places. Among the eighteen dhātus, the five consciousnesses constitute one alternative: only having vitarka and having vicāra. The mind dhātu and mental consciousness dhātu comprise three alternatives: having vitarka and having vicāra, without vitarka and only with vicāra, and without vitarka and without vicāra; this is due to passing through three levels. The dharma dhātu encompasses all four alternatives: excluding vitarka and vicāra, the other associated dharmas, passing through the three levels, have three alternatives, namely having vitarka and having vicāra, without vitarka and only with vicāra, and without vitarka and without vicāra. Vitarka has only one alternative, namely having vicāra and without vitarka. Vicāra has two alternatives, namely having vitarka and without vicāra, and without vitarka and without vicāra. The remaining ten dhātus have only one alternative: without vitarka and without vicāra.
