（一六）
Chapter 16
如是我聞：
Thus have I heard:
一時，佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。
Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s Park, in Śrāvastī.
爾時，有異比丘來詣佛所。所問如上，差別者：「隨使使、隨使死者，則增諸數；若不隨使使、不隨使死者，則不增諸數。」
At that time, a certain monk came to where the Buddha was. His questions were the same as above, with one difference: "One who follows and is bound by the defilements, and who dies under their influence, continues to accumulate in the cycle of existence. But one who does not follow or die under the influence of the defilements does not accumulate in this cycle."
佛告比丘：「汝云何於我略說法中，廣解其義？」
The Buddha said to the monks, "How do you, in my brief teachings, understand and elaborate on their meaning?"
時，彼比丘白佛言：「世尊！若色隨使使、隨使死；隨使使、隨使死者，則增諸數。如是受、想、行、識，隨使使、隨使死；隨使使、隨使死者，則增諸數。
At that time, that monk said to the Buddha: "World-Honored One! If form follows defilements and dies with them; if it follows defilements and dies with them, then it increases the aggregates. Likewise, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness—if they follow defilements and die with them, then they increase the aggregates."
「世尊！若色不隨使使、不隨使死；不隨使使、不隨使死者，則不增諸數。如是受、想、行、識，不隨使使、不隨使死；不隨使使、不隨使死者，則不增諸數。如是，世尊！我於略說法中，廣解其義。」如是，乃至得阿羅漢，心得解脫。
