唯識二十論述記 2.321

2.321

述曰：喬答摩者，先云瞿曇，此云甘蔗種，或日炙種，或牛糞種等，如舊所釋。佛是此種，號喬答摩。長者答佛：我雖不見，曾聞仙人由如上事，意憤恚故，國變成林，所以空寂。由此所說仙人意嗔，殺此三國諸有情類，國變成林。故知由他諸識轉變增上力故，他有情死，非以身、語親能殺之。准經但總問仙人意殺，今論乃別言仙殺三國。

The commentary says: "Gautama" was formerly rendered as Qútán, translated here as "sugarcane lineage", or "sun-parched lineage", or "cow-dung lineage", etc., as traditionally explained. The Buddha belongs to this lineage and is called Gautama. The householder answered the Buddha: "Although I did not see it myself, I have heard that through such events as described above, because of the ascetics' mental wrath, the kingdoms turned into forests, and so they became empty and desolate." Because of what is said here, the ascetics' mental rage killed the sentient beings of these three kingdoms, and the kingdoms turned into forests. Hence we know that due to the predominant power (adhipatitva) of the transformation of another's consciousnesses, other sentient beings die, and it is not that bodily or verbal [actions] directly kill them. According to the sūtra, it only asks generally about the ascetics' mental killing, whereas the present treatise specifies that the ascetics killed [the inhabitants of] three kingdoms.
