俱舍論頌疏論本 1.51

1.51

釋曰：從若離擇法乃至第四句因此傳說對法者，明說論意也。傳佛說對法者，明說論人也。故第四句說對法三字通兩處也。擇法者，慧也，慧能滅惑，為勝方便。若離於慧，定無有餘能滅諸惑勝方便也。由煩惱惑，令有情世間漂在三有生死海中，故說對法，以對法中詮慧故也。論雖明戒、定，兼非正也。傳佛說對法者，然佛世尊處處散說阿毘達磨，迦多演尼子等結集安置，猶如大德法救所集〈無常品〉等鄔陀南頌（已上論文也）。鄔陀南者，此言集施，或云集散。集所說義，散施有情，名鄔陀南。言法救者，以法救人故也。法救大德，佛說無常義，集為無常頌，乃至無我義，集為無我頌。上來明序分竟。

Commentary: From "Apart from the discernment of phenomena" down to the fourth line, "for this reason, it is handed down that [the Buddha] taught the Abhidharma," clarifies the intention behind teaching the treatise. "It is handed down that the Buddha taught the Abhidharma" clarifies the person who taught the treatise. Therefore, the three characters "taught the Abhidharma" in the fourth line extend to both places. "Discernment of phenomena" is wisdom; wisdom can extinguish afflictions, serving as the supreme expedient. Apart from wisdom, there is certainly no other supreme expedient capable of extinguishing the afflictions. Because of the afflictions of confusion, the world of sentient beings drifts in the ocean of birth and death across the three realms of existence; therefore, the Abhidharma was taught, because the Abhidharma explains wisdom. Although the treatise clarifies discipline and concentration, these are secondary, not primary. "It is handed down that the Buddha taught the Abhidharma": the World-Honoured Buddha taught Abhidharma scattered in various places, and Kātyāyanīputra and others compiled and arranged it, just as the Venerable Dharmatrāta compiled the Udāna verses such as the "Chapter on Impermanence" (the above is the text of the treatise). Udāna is translated here as "collected giving" or "collected and scattered." Collecting the explained meanings and scattering and bestowing them upon sentient beings is called udāna. "Dharmatrāta" means saving people by means of the Dharma. The Venerable Dharmatrāta collected what the Buddha taught on the meaning of impermanence into verses on impermanence, and so forth, down to collecting the meaning of non-self into verses on non-self. The clarification of the introductory section above is concluded.
