成唯識論了義燈 5.260

《論》：「此定初起唯在人中」，本釋：欲天亦得初起，有身證故。有釋：唯人非在欲天，此《論》說，唯《集論》第五云：要於人趣方能引發。《雜集》第九釋云：言引發者，是初起義，今者助明。欲天許有，身證何失？若不許有身證，即唯惠解脫。此等迴趣入初地後，可非初起。准此色界聖者迴心，非必皆身證及俱解脫。由此《雜集》第九復云：諸聖弟子為欲安住寂靜住故，於人趣等，引此滅定，令現在前。既有等言，明餘初起。此唯言者據各自乘從多分說，或隨麁相，不障迴心，於餘初起，如似見道。《顯揚論》說唯欲人天，雖說唯言，亦許色界二乘聖者迴心後入大乘見道。滅定唯人，初起准彼。

The treatise says: 'The initial arising of this attainment occurs only among humans.' The original commentary says: gods of the desire realm may also give rise to it initially, because there are bodily witnesses [among them]. Another explanation says: it is only in humans and not among the desire-realm gods, because this treatise says 'only', and fascicle five of the Samuccaya states: 'One must be in the human destiny to be able to engender it.' Fascicle nine of the Samuccayavyākhyā explains: 'To say "engender" means initial arising.' Now I shall assist in clarifying this. If it is admitted that desire-realm gods have bodily witnesses, what fault is there? If one does not admit that they have bodily witnesses, then they would be only liberated by wisdom. After these [practitioners] turn toward and enter the first bhūmi, it may not be an initial arising. By analogy, when noble ones of the form realm turn their minds, they are not necessarily all bodily witnesses or doubly liberated. Therefore fascicle nine of the Samuccayavyākhyā says again: 'In order to dwell in quietude, noble disciples bring this attainment of cessation into manifestation in the human destiny, etc.' Since it says 'etc.', it is clear that its initial arising occurs elsewhere as well. The word 'only' here is stated based on each vehicle's majority, or according to gross characteristics; it does not obstruct those who turn their minds from having an initial arising elsewhere, just like the path of seeing. The Xianyang lun says it is only in desire-realm humans and gods; though it uses the word 'only', it also permits noble ones of the two vehicles in the form realm, after turning their minds, to enter the Mahāyāna path of seeing. The initial arising of the attainment of cessation being 'only in humans' should be understood by analogy to that.
