Visuddhimagga XIV-137

461. Vīrabhāvo vīriyaṃ. Taṃ ussahanalakkhaṇaṃ, sahajātānaṃ upatthambhanarasaṃ, asaṃsīdanabhāvapaccupaṭṭhānaṃ. ‘‘Saṃviggo yoniso padahatī’’ti (a. ni. 4.113) vacanato saṃvegapadaṭṭhānaṃ, vīriyārambhavatthupadaṭṭhānaṃ vā, sammā āraddhaṃ sabbasampattīnaṃ mūlaṃ hotīti daṭṭhabbaṃ.
6)勇猛为「精进」。它有努力的特相;有支持俱生(的心、心所)的作用;以不沉落的状态为现状;由于此等说法:「怖畏(无常等)的人,作如理的精进」,故以怖畏为近因,或以会起精勤的故事为近因。当知正勤为一切成功的根本。
Ñ(XIV,137): (vi) Energy (viriya) is the state of one who is vigorous (vīra). Its characteristic is marshalling (driving). Its function is to consolidate conascent states. It is manifested as non-collapse. Because of the words 'Bestirred, he strives wisely' (A.ii,115), its proximate cause is a sense of urgency; or its proximate cause is grounds for the initiation of energy. When rightly initiated, it should be regarded as the root of all attainments.
