俱舍論疏 9.85

9.85

The Śāstra says: "Do these eight of the intermediate period … all exist completely [in every being] or not?" This asks why not all sentient beings in the intermediate period necessarily possess all eight. As for why it does not ask about the prior and posterior periods, but only about the intermediate one, it is because the two links in each of the prior and posterior periods are definitely present, whereas the eight links of the intermediate period are not definitely present.
