俱舍論疏 5.73

5.73

Regarding the treatise's statement, "If someone does not accept ... this is called the common characteristic": This cites evidence to demonstrate that their places of arising are identical. As for the statement, "If someone does not accept ... it does not have five conditioned factors": If one does not accept that the two meditational attainments can arise in the form realm, this contradicts the fundamental treatise. "There is existence in the form realm" means existence within the form realm. "This existence does not possess five conditioned factors": The five conditioned factors mean the five skandhas; during the time of the Buddha Kāśyapa, the term saṃskāra ('conditioned factor') was synonymous with skandha. Fascicle 192 of the Vibhāṣā says: "Here, the skandhas are spoken of by the word 'conditioned factors' (saṃskāra). The past Tathāgatas, Arhats, and Samyaksaṃbuddhas spoke of the skandhas under the name of 'conditioned factors'; now the Buddha Śākyamuni speaks of conditioned factors as 'skandhas'. That this Abhidharma speaks of the five conditioned factors is meant to show that the five skandhas spoken of by the present Buddha are precisely the five conditioned factors spoken of by former Buddhas." The above is from the treatise. "Does not possess five conditioned factors" means having a form-realm embodiment that does not possess all five skandhas complete. As for "Sentient beings bound to the form realm ... this existence does not possess five conditioned factors": This quotes the fundamental treatise's explanation. "Or they are born in the heavens with ideation and abide in a mind of a disparate realm": This means that they give rise to a mind of another realm or an anāsrava mind, because this mind does not belong to the form realm. "Whether they enter the non-ideational attainment or enter the cessation attainment": This refers to entering the two attainments within the heavens with ideation. "Or having been born in the non-ideational heaven, they have already entered non-ideation": They have been born into the non-ideational heaven and have already entered the non-ideational vipāka. "This is what is meant by 'There is existence in the form realm, and this existence does not possess five conditioned factors'": This concludes and establishes that they do not possess the five conditioned factors. What has been discussed above possesses only the two skandhas of form (rūpa) and conditioning factors (saṃskāra), without the remaining skandhas. As for "From this it is proven and known ... this is called the common characteristic": This concludes the proof of their common characteristic.
