成唯識論述記 5.933

5.933

述曰：其諸地獄一向苦故，唯苦無憂，以迫尤重，為苦所逼；亦無分別，以憂分別方得生故。捺落迦者，此云苦器，受罪處也。那落迦者，受彼苦者，故二別也。問：無分別故，無分別煩惱耶？答曰：不然。豈以第三定有樂無分別故，亦無見道見等也？憂即分別，加行分別故；逼迫既極，不假分別。又彼無此分別，煩惱亦無妨難。何以知爾？

The Commentary states: Because those various hells are entirely pain, there is exclusively pain and no sorrow, because the distress is especially severe and they are oppressed by pain; furthermore, there is no conceptualization, because sorrow can only arise through conceptualization. 'Nāraka' is translated here as 'vessel of pain', the place where retribution is experienced. 'Naraka' is the one who experiences that pain; hence the two are different. Question: Because there is no conceptualization, is there no conceptual affliction? Answer: Not so. Could it be that because the third dhyāna has pleasure without conceptualization, it also lacks the view of the path of seeing and so forth? Sorrow is precisely conceptualization, conceptualization born of deliberate effort; since distress is extreme, it does not depend on conceptualization. Furthermore, even if they lack this conceptualization, there is no contradiction regarding afflictions. How is this known?
