成唯識論演祕 2.264

2.264

按《成業論》釋三名云：身論諸根大造和合差別為體，積集所成是為身義；業即是思差別為性，有所造作是為業義；思能動身說為身業，令身相續異方生因；風界起故具足應言動身之業，除動身言但名身業，如益力油但言力油，如動塵風但名塵風。語謂語言，音聲為性，此能表了所欲說義故名為語，或復語者字等所依，由「帶」字等能詮表義，故名為語；能發語思說名為業，具足應言發語之業，除發語言但名語業，喻同身業。意謂意識，能思量故，趣向餘生及境界故說名為意；作動意思說名意業，具足應言作意之業，或意相應業，除彼「作」字及相應言但云意業，喻如前說。略提大意，具如彼辨。

According to the explanation of the three designations in the Karmasiddhi-prakaraṇa: The body (kāya) takes the distinctions among the combination of the sensory faculties and the great elements as its substance; being formed by accumulation is the meaning of 'body'. Action (karman) takes volition (cetanā) with its distinctions as its nature; that which effects action is the meaning of 'action'. Volition can move the body and is termed 'bodily action', serving as the cause for the body's continuum to arise in another location. Because the wind element arises, to speak fully one should say 'the action that moves the body'; dropping the words 'moving the body', it is merely called 'bodily action'—just as oil that increases strength is simply called 'strength-oil', or wind that moves dust is simply called 'dust-wind'. Speech (vāk) refers to verbal utterance, taking sound as its nature; because this can manifest and make known the meaning one wishes to express, it is called 'speech'. Or again, speech is that upon which words and the like rely; because it 'carries' words and the like so as to be able to express and manifest meaning, it is called 'speech'. The volition that can initiate speech is called 'action'; to speak fully one should say 'the action that initiates speech'; dropping the words 'initiating speech', it is merely called 'verbal action', the analogy being the same as with bodily action. Mind (manas) refers to mental consciousness (manovijñāna); because it can deliberate and because it proceeds toward future rebirths and cognitive objects, it is called 'mind'. The volition that activates the mind is called 'mental action'; to speak fully one should say 'action of activating the mind' or 'action associated with the mind'; dropping the word 'activating' and the word 'associated', it is merely called 'mental action', the analogy being as explained above. This is a brief presentation of the main purport; the full details are as analyzed there.
