俱舍論疏 8.76

8.76

On the Śāstra's statement: "However, the *Saptabhava-sūtra* ... therefore it is spoken of separately": the Mahāsāṃghika masters resolve the sūtra text. The Sarvāstivāda comprehensively cited multiple sūtras as proof, and here the *Saptabhava-sūtra* is resolved. Views and defilements are spoken of separately as turbidities, yet views are subsumed under defilements. Although destinies and the causes of destinies are spoken of separately as existences, what prevents both the destiny and the cause of destiny from being collectively named "destiny"? Therefore it is said that being spoken of separately does not definitively prove that it is not a destiny.
