11.24

述曰。向來就凡。明諸罪障依身口發業竟。若論聖人。如須陀洹等。出觀失念。容有起意輕微不善。生惡願等。具欲結者。貪瞋雖強。片似餘凡。唯可直起。貪欲瞋慢。不更思審。起邪見心。亦不起殺盜等心。如依毘曇。得有眷屬。加拳等事輕不善業。若依成論有意不善。設動身口不成業報。如滴水熱𨫼。雖濕還乾。

The Commentary says: The preceding section has clarified for ordinary beings how various sinful obstacles generate karma based on body and speech. If we discuss noble ones, such as stream-enterers (srotāpanna) and the like, when they emerge from contemplation and lose mindfulness, it is possible for them to generate slight unwholesome thoughts in the mind, give rise to evil vows, and the like. For those who still possess the fetters of desire, although greed and anger are strong, being somewhat like other ordinary beings, they only give rise directly to greed, desire, anger, and arrogance without further reflection; they do not generate minds with wrong views, nor do they generate minds of killing, stealing, and the like. As according to the Abhidharma, they may possess retinue and perform light unwholesome karma such as striking with fists. According to the Tattvasiddhi-śāstra, they have mental unwholesomeness, but even if they move body and speech, this does not constitute karmic retribution—just as a drop of water on a hot cauldron, though wet, immediately dries.
