瑜伽論記 8.92

8.92

"Masterfully transforming a portion of derived matter belonging to the four great elements in the Brahma-world": (Jing says:) Derived matter generally comprises ten [kinds]; here it is merely transmuting the sense-datum of visible form, either into its own kind or into a different kind; hence it is called "a portion of derived matter". (Tai says:) There are two kinds of transforming: first, the person of supernormal power comes and goes with mastery in his body; second, being able to transform a portion of the derived matter of the Brahma-world, masterfully altering it to blue or yellow, not transforming everything, hence the word "a portion". (Ji says:) "A portion of derived matter" refers to the two kinds, visible form and sound, and is thus called "a portion" because it does not transform tangible objects, the five sense-faculties, and so forth; because it concerns only external objects, it is called "a portion". Furthermore, what is transformed in accord with absorption is only a portion of the two [sense-data], being unable to transform everything in the Brahma-world; hence it is called "a portion".
