Cariyāvaṇṇanā

43. Idāni attano cariyānukūlanti ettha cariyāti cha cariyā rāgacariyā, dosacariyā, mohacariyā, saddhācariyā, buddhicariyā, vitakkacariyāti.

（三）「顺适自己的性行」：（1）（性行的区别）性行有六种，即贪行、瞋行、痴行、信行、觉行、寻行。

Ñ(III,74): Now as to the words, one that suits his temperament (§28): there are six kinds of temperament, that is, greedy temperament, hating temperament, deluded temperament, faithful temperament, intelligent temperament, and speculative temperament.

Keci pana rāgādīnaṃ saṃsaggasannipātavasena aparāpi catasso, tathā saddhādīnanti imāhi aṭṭhahi saddhiṃ cuddasa icchanti.

或有人说，由于贪等三种的组合另成四种，同样的由信等的组合亦别成四种，如是以此八种和前六种合为十四种。

Ñ: Some would have fourteen, taking these six single ones together with the four made up of the three double combinations and one triple combination with the greed triad and likewise with the faith triad.

Notes in Chinese translation: 即贪瞋行、贪痴行、瞋痴行、贪瞋痴行。信等四种：即信觉行、信寻行、觉寻行、信觉寻行。

Evaṃ pana bhede vuccamāne rāgādīnaṃ saddhādīhipi saṃsaggaṃ katvā anekā cariyā honti, tasmā saṅkhepena chaḷeva cariyā veditabbā.

若依这种说法，则贪等和信等的组合也可成为多种的。是故当知仅略为六种性行。

Ñ: But if this classification is admitted, there are many more kinds of temperament possible by combining greed, etc., with faith, etc.; therefore the kinds of temperament should be understood briefly as only six.

Cariyā, pakati, ussannatāti atthato ekaṃ.

性行和本性增性是同一意义。

Ñ: As to meaning the temperaments are one, that is to say, personal nature, idiosyncrasy.

Tāsaṃ vasena chaḷeva puggalā honti rāgacarito, dosacarito, mohacarito, saddhācarito, buddhicarito, vitakkacaritoti.

依彼等性行而成为六种人，[PTS 102] 即贪行者、瞋行者、痴行者、信行者、觉行者、寻行者。

Ñ: According to [102] these there are only six types of persons, that is, one of greedy temperament, one of hating temperament, one of deluded temperament, one of faithful temperament, one of intelligent temperament, and one of speculative temperament.
