唯識二十論述記 2.325

2.325

述曰：釋下半頌，詰意罰為大。若鬼神為殺，云何世尊引彼林事反問長者成立意罰為大罪性，過於身語。由於此殺在身、語故，非意罪大。如《俱舍》說，三罰業中，自比校者，意罰為大；五無間中，破僧為大；於五偏見，邪見最大。故知意殺無量眾生，過破僧罪，破僧罪是虛誑語故。若爾，論說破僧能感無間一劫惡異熟果，此中意殺感果如何？大乘中說：感無量劫，受無間果，過於破僧，從初為名，皆名生報，說色業道立五無間。於中重者，謂是破僧，破僧不能重過意罰，故說意罰為大罪性。《俱舍》又說：或依大果說破僧重，害多有情，說意罰大。斷諸善根，說邪見重。依彼宗說，即其罪大，後感果時，雖但一劫，倍於破僧，受無間等，皆生報故，不可多生，感無間果，不同大乘。

The Commentary states: This explains the latter half of the verse, interrogating [the point that] mental chastisement is the greatest. If spirits and deities performed the killing, why would the World-Honoured One adduce that forest affair, question the householder in turn, and establish that mental chastisement is of the nature of a grave offense, surpassing [that of] body and speech? Because in that case the killing would reside in body and speech, and the mental offense would not be the greatest. As the Kośa states, among the three forms of chastisement and action, when compared among themselves, mental chastisement is the greatest; among the five acts of immediate [retribution], schism in the Saṅgha is the greatest; and among the five erroneous views, wrong view is the greatest. Therefore we know that mentally killing immeasurable sentient beings surpasses the offense of schism in the Saṅgha, for schism in the Saṅgha is [an act of] deceitful speech. If so, the treatises state that schism in the Saṅgha is capable of inducing the evil ripening fruit of one kalpa in the Avīci [hell]; what fruit does mental killing induce here? In the Mahāyāna it is said: it induces an Avīci fruit endured for immeasurable kalpas, surpassing schism in the Saṅgha; named from the initial [life], it is in every case called retribution in the next birth. The five acts of immediate [retribution] are established as corporeal courses of action; among them the heaviest is schism in the Saṅgha, but schism in the Saṅgha cannot surpass mental chastisement in gravity, and so it is said that mental chastisement is of the nature of a grave offense. The Kośa also states: alternatively, based on the greatness of the fruit, schism in the Saṅgha is said to be heavy; based on harming many sentient beings, mental chastisement is said to be great; based on severing all wholesome roots, wrong view is said to be heavy. According to their school, the offense is indeed great, but when subsequently inducing the fruit, although it lasts for only one kalpa, double that of schism in the Saṅgha, endurance in Avīci and the like are all retributions in the next birth, and so it cannot induce the Avīci fruit over multiple births—unlike the Mahāyāna.
