俱舍論疏 20.83

20.83

The Śāstra says: "If they exist like the present... the principle is naturally established": the Sautrāntikas press the Sarvāstivādins from both sides. If they claim that the past and future exist like the present, they would become the present time. If their substance is presently non-existent, unlike the present, then they must admit that there is a consciousness that takes a non-existent object, and the principle is naturally established.
