大乘義章 17.26

17.26

次第三門明其煩惱潤生多少。於中曲有三門分別：一明諸惑有潤不潤、二明用惑潤生不同、三明諸惑潤生多少。初言諸惑潤不潤者，有人宣說九品惑中，有乘斷者不能潤生，不乘斷者用之潤生。此義不然。乘斷已竟可不潤生，未斷之時何為不潤？當知一切齊能潤生。但潤有二：一者現起親潤受生、二者成就冥助資潤。其乘斷者未斷之時，得有冥助資潤之義，亦有現起親潤之義。云何得有？義如後釋（此一門竟）。

Next, the third sub-section explains the amount of rebirths moistened by their afflictions. Herein, there are three detailed sub-sections of analysis: first, explaining whether the various afflictions do or do not moisten [rebirth]; second, explaining differences in employing afflictions to moisten rebirth; third, explaining the amount of rebirths moistened by the various afflictions. First, concerning whether the various afflictions do or do not moisten [rebirth]: some people proclaim that among the nine grades of afflictions, those that are in line to be severed cannot moisten rebirth, whereas those not in line to be severed are employed to moisten rebirth. This meaning is not so. If they have already been severed in line, they indeed might not moisten rebirth; but before they are severed, why would they not moisten [rebirth]? One should know that all of them equally can moisten rebirth. However, moistening is twofold: first, manifesting in activity to directly moisten rebirth; second, being possessed so as to secretly aid and nourish moistening. Before those that are in line to be severed have been severed, they can possess the function of secretly aiding and nourishing, and they can also possess the function of manifesting in activity to directly moisten. How can they have this? The meaning will be explained below. (This completes the first sub-section.)
