俱舍論疏 3.44

3.44

"The Śāstra states: ... the twenty-two faculties" explains the word "or" in the verse to show the position of the other masters. Faculties are established in terms of being the most supreme basis for the transmigration and cessation of saṃsāra, and having sovereign function in their arising, maintenance, and enjoyment. The continuity of birth and death is the meaning of transmigration; the cessation of birth and death is the meaning of cessation, which is the ultimate cessation of the six āyatanas. The Nyāyānusāra states: "The continuity of birth and death is the meaning of transmigration; the cessation of birth and death is the meaning of cessation, which is the ultimate cessation of the six āyatanas." Fascicle 100 of the Vibhāṣā states: "Transmigration means undergoing rebirth again; cessation means progressing toward nirvāṇa."
