瑜伽論記 8.25

8.25

尋思欲麁理中，景判由大資糧，大追求等，是觀待道理，食能對治諸飢渴苦下，明作用道理。又彼諸欲有至教量現量比量，明證成道理。又彼諸欲從無始來下，明法爾道理。今判第二作用道理，從又彼諸欲雖善生起雖善增長乃至為除病故，服雜穢藥文，是也。餘如前判。泰云：欲界內處有色根身麁重，不同色界細輕，養以段食，著以衣裳。或為他壞斷，或又死亡自然離散消滅性法。或復自身隨所生起種種苦惱常須對治。

In the reflection upon the coarse principle of desires, Jing judges that from "due to great provisions, great pursuit, etc." is the principle of dependence. From "food can counter the suffering of hunger and thirst" downwards elucidates the principle of function. "Furthermore, those desires possess the authority of supreme teaching, direct perception, and inference" elucidates the principle of valid establishment. "Furthermore, those desires from beginningless time..." downwards elucidates the principle of the nature of things. Now I judge that the second, the principle of function, spans from the passage "Furthermore, though those desires are well-generated and well-grown... up to taking impure medicine to cure sickness." The rest is as previously judged. Tai says: The physical sense-faculties and body of the internal spheres of the desire realm are coarse and heavy, unlike the fine and light ones of the form realm; they are nourished with material food and clothed in garments. They may be destroyed and severed by others, or have the nature of naturally separating and perishing upon death. Or again, one's own body must constantly apply antidotes to various sufferings and afflictions according to how they arise.
