成唯識論述記 1.218

1.218

述曰：顯我小因，以我量小如一極微，有自在用，小輕利故，潛轉身中，顯勝自在。所栖隱處，作諸事業，顯我勝用，能為作者。此即獸主、遍出等計。謂有外道名「播輸鉢多」，翻為「獸主」，如一瞿聲，別目於牛，通名於獸。但言「牛主」，未善方言，非但與牛而為主故，如伏犧等。復有外道名「波利呾羅拘迦」，翻為遍出，遍能出離諸俗世間，即是出家外道之類。

The Commentary states: This reveals the reason for the smallness of the self: because the measure of the self is small like a single paramāṇu, it possesses sovereign function; being small, light, and agile, it secretly moves within the body, demonstrating supreme sovereignty. From the place where it dwells and hides, it performs various actions, demonstrating the supreme function of the self as capable of being an agent. This is the assertion of the Pāśupatas, Parivrājakas, and others. That is, there are non-Buddhists named "Pāśupata," translated as "Lord of Beasts"; just as the single word *go* specifically denotes an ox, it generally refers to beasts. To merely say "Lord of Cattle" is not to have mastered the regional idioms, because he is not the lord of cattle alone, like Fu Xi and others. There are also non-Buddhists named "Parivrājaka," translated as "all-renouncers," who can thoroughly renounce worldly life, being the class of mendicant non-Buddhists.
