俱舍論疏 4.19

4.19

On the Śāstra's statement, "Other masters say... 'elements' means seeds": this refers to the Sautrāntikas. There are only seeds; there is no substantial characteristic. The Mahāyāna does not speak of seeds [here], yet it allows that there may be one great element up to four great elements, and allows one derived matter up to five sense objects, which nevertheless are inseparable in the same locus and not blended into a mixture. The general idea of the Sautrāntikas is also the same.
