瑜伽師地論略纂 3.119

3.119

煩惱上品中，「謂猛利相及尤重相」者，即舊所言利而勤也；堅執不捨，名尤重故。單猛利、單尤重、或俱，皆上品。或此唯取俱，非單起。「由相續故者，謂貪等行、諸根成熟少年盛壯、無涅槃法者」，貪行、瞋行、癡行、等分行，此等諸根成熟，名煩惱相續。在何身起？謂少年盛壯及無涅槃法者身之所起。　「由事故」者，依三種事中所起煩惱，名為上品相。　「究竟故」者，最初聖道究竟所害。

Regarding 'meaning intense characteristics and especially heavy characteristics' among the upper grade of defilements: this corresponds to what was formerly called sharp and persistent; because tenaciously clinging without abandoning is termed especially heavy. Being purely intense, purely especially heavy, or both, are all of the upper grade. Alternatively, this takes only both together, not arising singularly. Regarding 'because of continuity, meaning those of greedy disposition and so forth whose faculties have matured, those in the prime of youth, and those devoid of the quality of nirvāṇa': those of greedy disposition, angry disposition, deluded disposition, and equal-measure disposition whose faculties have matured are called the continuity of defilements. In what bodies do they arise? They arise in the bodies of those in the prime of youth and those devoid of the quality of nirvāṇa. Regarding 'due to matters': defilements arising on the basis of three kinds of matters are called characteristics of the upper grade. Regarding 'due to culmination': they are culminatingly destroyed by the initial noble path.
