瑜伽論記 5.49

5.49

但涅槃經等先尼問身為在煩惱前，煩惱為在前，若身在前，云何說言因煩惱故方得有身，若煩惱在前誰之所作住在何處？佛答先尼：煩惱與身雖復一時俱無前後，要因煩惱得有身終不因身而有煩惱者，雖復外道就始有為難，佛還就彼無始而答，故知無增也。

However, in the Nirvāṇa Sūtra and elsewhere, Śreṇika asks: 'Does the body precede afflictions, or do afflictions precede [the body]? If the body precedes, why is it said that only because of afflictions can there be a body? If afflictions precede, by whom were they made, and where do they abide?' The Buddha answered Śreṇika: 'Although afflictions and the body are simultaneous and neither precedes nor follows, only on account of afflictions can there be a body, and never because of a body can there be afflictions.' Although the non-Buddhist posed the challenge in terms of a first beginning, the Buddha answered him in terms of beginninglessness; therefore one knows there is no increase.
