俱舍論疏 3.12

3.12

On the Śāstra's: "First, the female and male faculties […] distinctions such as breasts": this explains the two kinds of predominance of the female and male faculties. The Nyāyānusāra says: "Regarding the two kinds of predominance of the female and male faculties: the first is the difference of sentient beings (sattva-bheda); the second is the difference of distinctions (vikalpa-bheda). 'Difference of sentient beings' means: at the beginning of the kalpa, the forms and types of sentient beings were all equal; once the two faculties arose, there were distinctions in the forms and types of male and female. 'Difference of distinctions' refers to the structured distinctions in deportment, vocal pitch, breasts, topknots, and so forth. Some say: Because there are distinctions between bravery and timidity, it is called difference of sentient beings; because there are distinctions in clothing and adornments, it is called difference of distinctions."
