俱舍論頌疏論本 14.44

14.44

'After that moment, one possesses the past': this explains that after the initial moment of the avijñapti of prātimokṣa, one also possesses the past; because of acquisition posterior to the dharma (paścātprāpti), one possesses the past. Consequently, in the initial moment, one possesses only the present time. In the second moment and onward, one possesses both times; there is no acquisition prior to the dharma (pūrvaprāpti), so one does not possess the future. Question: 'Why is there no acquisition prior to the dharma?' Answer: 'Matter that does not conform to the mind has weak power, so it has no acquisition prior to the dharma.'
