俱舍論疏 5.201

5.201

On the treatise passage: "Although one comprehends the conditioned … distinct real entities such as arising": the Sautrāntika explains that although the sūtra’s four characteristics of arising and the rest are not separate from the conditioned, they are not identical with it. Although one comprehends the intrinsic nature of conditioned matter and the like, if one fails to comprehend the arising of not having existed previously and now existing, the cessation of now existing and later non-existing, the staying-characteristic of continuity, and the decay-cum-alteration of distinction, one still does not know that their essence is conditioned. Therefore, matter and the like are not themselves the conditioned characteristics; yet neither are there real entities such as arising apart from that matter and the like.
