唯識二十論述記 1.190

1.190

述曰：其異大種起勝形色，身有麁細；起勝顯色，身或赤黑；起異貌量，或長或短。其觸處力，或強或弱，種種差別。此形顯等，望受罪者，皆為強大，故俱名「勝」。此形、顯等，皆業所感，於此等上，施設獄卒、狗、烏等名。於無情物，假立情名，說為「施設」。此顯法體非有情數，但是心外業生大種所起形等，假名施設為獄卒等。

The Commentary says: Those distinct great elements give rise to superior shape-form, their bodies having coarseness and fineness; they give rise to superior color-form, their bodies being red or black; they give rise to distinct appearances and sizes, either long or short. The power of their tangible base is either strong or weak, with various distinctions. In comparison to the suffering sinners, these shapes, colors, and so forth are all powerful and mighty, and therefore are all called 'superior.' These shapes, colors, and so on are all produced by karma; upon them, the designations of hell-wardens, dogs, crows, and so forth are conventionally posited. Onto insentient things, names of sentient beings are falsely designated; this is called 'conventionally positing.' This shows that the intrinsic nature of the phenomenon does not belong to the category of sentient beings; it is merely shapes and so forth arisen from karma-produced great elements external to the mind, upon which false names are conventionally posited as hell-wardens and the like.
