俱舍論疏 2.8

2.8

The treatise says: "Therefore the Prajñaptiśāstra says... except for the previous characteristics." This is the second [part], which cites proof. The Prajñaptiśāstra is one among the six pāda treatises, composed by Mahākātyāyanīputra. The four alternatives can be understood. Here "obstruction" (pratighāta) means the seeing of visible form. Obstruction is an alternate name for opposition; that is, with respect to the visible form that is seen, it is called "having opposition." "Piśāca" in Tang language means a flesh-and-blood-eating ghost; its older name was piśāca-ghost. "Śiśumāra" is a type of animal, shaped like a gecko; small ones are two zhang long, and large ones are up to a hundred chi long. "These are termed 'having objective opposition'" is the concluding phrase.
