俱舍論頌疏論本 3.26

3.26

Explanation: the word 'or' indicates that this is the opinion of other masters, establishing the twenty-two indriyas according to saṃsāra and cessation. 'Saṃsāra' has consciousness as its essence, flowing and turning in birth-and-death. Saṃsāra has four aspects: first, the basis of saṃsāra, namely the six indriyas of the eye and so on; second, the arising of saṃsāra, because sentient beings are born from the female and male indriyas; third, the abiding of saṃsāra, because they abide depending on the life indriya; fourth, the experience of saṃsāra, because the five feeling indriyas can experience [objects]. The first fourteen indriyas are established above according to these four meanings, which can be understood upon reflection.
