俱舍論頌疏論本 1.5

1.5

粵燭天下之幽者，其惟赫日乎？鼓萬物而成者，其惟颽風乎？匡大教而濟時者，其惟菩薩乎？爰有大士，厥號世親，弘道於五天、製論於千部，光我師之正躅、解外道之邪紛，功無得而詳也。千部之內，《俱舍論》是其一焉。斯乃包括六足、吞納八蘊。義雖諸部，宗唯以正。故得西域學徒號為聰明論也。至如七支無表之說，作傳律之丹青；三科蘊界之談，與弘經為潤色。光光佛日，寔在茲焉。

Now, what illuminates the darkness beneath heaven—is it not the blazing sun alone? What stirs the ten thousand things to completion—is it not the gentle wind alone? What rectifies the great teaching and delivers the times—is it not the Bodhisattva alone? Here there was a Great Being named Vasubandhu, who propagated the Way across the Five Indies and authored treatises numbering a thousand, illuminating the orthodox footsteps of our Master and unravelling the heterodox tangles of the tīrthikas; his merits cannot be detailed in full. Among his thousand works, the Abhidharmakośa is one. It encompasses the six feet and embraces the eight aggregates. Although its doctrines draw from various schools, its standard is strictly orthodoxy; hence the scholars of the Western Regions called it the Treatise of the Wise. As for its exposition of the seven branches of unmanifest form (avijñapti), it provides the brushwork for transmitting the vinaya; its discussions of the three categories of aggregates and realms provide luster for propagating the sūtras. The radiant sun of the Buddha truly resides herein.
