成唯識論了義燈 5.255

5.255

答：即論二師說各不同。若初師解退與不退，生下三天不得重起，生無想者下初修退，後生重起亦名後報。若第二師，欲界雖退，生下靜慮亦得重起。五十六云：先於此起，後於色界第四靜慮，當受彼果。如《疏》文解。若云：在欲設不退失，亦有生下三靜慮中，而得重起者。不爾，異生潤生要現行故。若不退無想，下三靜慮得離染故如何得生？若許得生，即無六行伏惑上生？

Answer: The two masters of the treatise explain this differently. According to the first master's explanation, whether one degenerates or does not degenerate, upon being born in the lower three heavens one cannot give rise to it again; for one born in [the heaven of] non-conception who first cultivated it below and degenerated, to give rise to it again after subsequent birth is also called subsequent retribution. According to the second master, although one degenerates in the desire realm, upon being born in a lower dhyāna one can also give rise to it again. Chapter fifty-six says: Having first given rise to it here, subsequently in the fourth dhyāna of the form realm one shall experience that result, as explained in the commentary. If it is said that even if one does not degenerate while in the desire realm, there are also those who, born among the lower three dhyānas, can give rise to it again: this is not so, because for an ordinary worldling, moistening rebirth necessarily requires active manifestation. If one does not degenerate from non-conception, since one has attained detachment from the lower three dhyānas, how could one be born there? If one is permitted to be born there, would there then be no suppression of afflictions through the six mental practices in order to be born above?
