Chapter V   Vīthimuttasaṅgahavibhāgo（離心路過程之概要）

5.6 心之相續流（Cittasantati）

Icc' evaṃ gahitapaṭisandhikānaṃ pana paṭisandhinirodhānantarato pabhuti tam ev' ālambanam ārabbha tad eva cittaṃ yāva cuticittuppādā asati vīthicittuppāde bhavass' aṅga-bhāvena bhavaṅgasantatisaṅkhātaṃ mānasaṃ abbocchinnaṃ nadīsoto viya pavattati. Pariyosāne ca cavanavasena cuticittaṃ hutvā nirujjhati. Tato parañ ca paṭisandhādayo rathacakkam iva yathākkamaṃ eva parivattantā pavattanti.

So, to those who have thus got rebirth, immediately after the cessation of the relinking (consciousness), a similar consciousness, depending on the same object, flows on, in the absence of a thought-process, uninterruptedly like a stream, until the arising of the decease-consciousness. Being an essential factor of life, this consciousness is known as bhavaṅga. At the end, in the way of dying, it arises as decease-consciousness and perishes. Thereafter the relinking-consciousness and others, revolving according to circumstances, like a wheel, continue to exist.

所以，對於如此投生者，在結生（心）滅盡之後，即刻就會生起識知同一所緣的同一種心，有如河流般不斷地流下去；只要沒有心路過程生起，它即會如此流下去，直至死亡為止。由於它是有（即：生命）的主要因素，此心被稱為有分。在生命終結時，它成為死亡心，滅盡後即完全停止。此後，結生心與其他（心）有如車輪一般繼續次第地轉起。

5.7 結論

Paṭisandhibhavaṅgavīthiyo

Cuti c' eha tathā bhavantare

Puna sandhibhavaṅgam icc' ayaṃ

Parivattati cittasantati.

Paṭisaṅkhāya pan' etam addhuvaṃ

Adhigantvā padam accutaṃ budhā

Susamucchinnasinehabandhanā

Samam essanti cirāya subbatā.

Just as here so again in the subsequent existence there arise relinking-consciousness, life-continuum, thought-processes, and decease-consciousness. Again with rebirth and life-continuum this stream of consciousness turns round.

The enlightened, disciplining themselves long, understanding the impermanence (of life), having realised the deathless state, and completely cutting off the fetters of attachment, will attain peace.

即有如這（一世），在下一世結生心、有分心、心路過程與死亡心也是如此生起。以結生及有分，心相續流再次轉起。

常自制的智者，了知（生命）無常、覺證不死之境、完全斷除了貪欲的結縛、證得永久的寂靜。
