3.255

述曰:若如前言,現所居者變為土者,器將壞時無現、當生,此土誰變?即有壞器不變之過。現、他欲界變為故者,何故但言現所居者,而不說言一切欲界同此界變?又成器時,他方三禪等有情當生,亦有感得,何故但言此界有情當生者變,此便無用。由汝前說現所居言,一三千界成壞同者,故我今破。

The Commentary states: If, as previously stated, only current residents transform [consciousness] into the world, then when the vessel world is about to be destroyed and there are neither present residents nor those to be reborn, who transforms this world? There would then be the fault of the vessel world undergoing destruction without being transformed [by consciousness]. If it is because those currently residing in other desire realms transform it, why did you only say 'those currently residing [in this realm],' and not say that all desire realms transform in common with this realm? Furthermore, at the time of the vessel world's formation, sentient beings in other directions in the third dhyāna and so on who are to be reborn here also karmically bring it about; why did you only say that sentient beings of this realm who are to be reborn here transform it? This then becomes useless. Because of what you previously stated regarding 'those currently residing'—that a single three-thousandfold world realm undergoes formation and destruction simultaneously—I now refute it.
