俱舍論頌疏論本 6.6

6.6

釋曰：上三句頌標六因名，第四一句結歸本宗。一能作因、二俱有因、三同類因、四相應因、五遍行因、六異熟因，此如後釋。經部等宗不許六因，無經說故；許有四緣，有經說故。然有部宗中，迦多演尼子大阿羅漢靜室思惟，言有《六因經》，是諸天傳來，非餘部許，故論云：「對法諸師，許因唯有如是六種。」

The commentary explains: The first three lines of the verse list the names of the six causes, and the fourth line concludes by returning to their own school. 1. Efficient cause (kāraṇahetu), 2. coexistent cause (sahabhūhetu), 3. homogeneous cause (sabhāgahetu), 4. associated cause (samprayuktakahetu), 5. universal cause (sarvatragahetu), and 6. ripening cause (vipākahetu); these will be explained below. Schools such as the Sautrāntika do not accept the six causes, because no sūtra speaks of them; they accept the four conditions, because sūtras speak of them. However, within the Sarvāstivāda school, the great arhat Kātyāyanīputra contemplated in a quiet chamber and stated that there is a Sūtra of Six Causes transmitted by the devas; this is not accepted by other schools. Thus the treatise states: 'The Abhidharma masters accept that causes are only of these six kinds.'
