成唯識論述記 8.592

8.592

述曰：下解變易有五：初出體；次釋名，因辨得人；次問答；次二死對辨；後總結。此出體也。謂前諸無漏後得有分別業，由前所知障緣助勢力所感殊勝細異熟果，此望分段轉淨妙故，轉微細故，轉光潔故，無定限故，非彼世間及非迴心二乘境故，名為殊勝，唯妙唯細，唯是菩薩及其自身並佛境界，故名為細。第八十說：其諸天等尚不見故，此以異熟無記五蘊為自性，於五果中異熟果攝，此即正出生死體也。何故分段言三界果，此死不言是何界果？此於三界非定何界，如前第七已有二解，故不言三界，不同分段死定屬此界業，此變易死不屬無漏業故，此資行相，至下當知。何名變易死而言不思議？

The Commentary states: The explanation of transformation [saṃsāra] below has five parts: first, identifying its essential nature; second, explaining the name and, in connection with that, distinguishing the persons who attain it; third, questions and answers; fourth, contrasting and distinguishing the two [kinds of] death; and finally, a general conclusion. This [first passage] identifies its essential nature. That is to say, it is the superior, subtle maturation result brought about by the previous undefiled, subsequent, conceptual karma, assisted by the power of the previously mentioned cognitive hindrances acting as conditions. Compared to [the birth and death of] segmented limitation, this is increasingly pure and wondrous, increasingly subtle, increasingly radiant and clean, and without fixed boundaries; and because it is not within the realm of worldly beings or the two vehicles who have not redirected their minds, it is called 'superior.' It is exclusively wondrous and exclusively subtle, and is solely the realm of bodhisattvas, of their own persons, and of the Buddhas; hence it is called 'subtle.' The eightieth [fascicle of the Yogācārabhūmi] states that even the devas and so forth cannot see it. This has the maturation morally indeterminate five aggregates as its self-nature, and among the five results it is subsumed under maturation results. This directly identifies the essential nature of this saṃsāra. Why is it that segmented limitation is called the result of the three realms, whereas this death is not said to be the result of any specific realm? Regarding the three realms, it does not belong definitively to any particular realm; as explained previously at the end of the seventh [fascicle], there were already two explanations, so it is not said to be of the three realms. Unlike the death of segmented limitation, which definitively belongs to the karma of this or that realm, this death of transformation does not belong to undefiled karma; how this is sustained in its mental modes will be understood below. Why is it called the death of transformation, and why is it said to be inconceivable?
