俱舍論頌疏論本 5.6

5.6

Explanation: 'In non-conception, cessation of mind and mental factors' directly explains non-conception. The first mention of 'non-conception' is the retributive maturation of non-conception (āsaṃjñika). The second mention of 'non-conception' is the Heaven of Non-conception (Asaṃjñisattva). It means that within the Heaven of Non-conception, there is the retributive maturation of non-conception. The Śāstra states: 'If one is born among the gods of the non-conception sentient beings, there is a dharma that causes the cessation of mind and mental factors, which is called non-conception. It is a really existent entity that can block future mind and mental factors, causing them temporarily not to arise, like damming a river.' (The explanation states: Since it can cause the cessation of mind, it is clear that there is a real entity. Because according to the Sautrāntika school non-conception is nominal, this indicates the school's doctrine that it is a real entity.)
