俱舍論疏 30.18

30.18

On the Śāstra's statement: "If it is said that the sūtra states [...] one term for one heap": The author of the Śāstra rejects their reckless citation of the text. They say: 'The statement that "one self is born into the world" makes it clear that it is not the aggregates, because the aggregates are not one.' That is also illogical, because this is a nominal designation of 'one' with respect to the aggregate-heap as a whole. Just as in the world one says: 'one heap of hemp,' 'one heap of rice,' and so forth; although there are many items composed of eight atoms, they are collectively called 'one.'
