色法十一之第七。五境之第二。為耳根（→#61）所緣、耳識（→#2）所緣之相分。集論列十一種聲（《大乘阿毘達磨雜集論》）——五境中內部分判最精細者之一。
經
[共傳] 《雜阿含經》SA 273（卷十一，T2n0099_p0072c09）六入處段之攝涵聲境（同色境範式）；DN 22 Mahāsatipaṭṭhāna / SN 35 Saḷāyatana-saṃyutta 標準形式：
Sotañca paṭicca sadde ca uppajjati sota-viññāṇaṃ. 緣耳與聲，生耳識。
[大乘] 《大佛頂首楞嚴經》卷五（憍陳那五比丘聲塵圓通章），二十五圓通之第一「妙音密圓」：
憍陳那五比丘，即從座起，頂禮佛足，而白佛言：我在鹿苑，及於雞園，觀見如來最初成道，於佛音聲，悟明四諦。佛問比丘，我初稱解。如來印我名阿若多。妙音密圓，我於音聲得阿羅漢。佛問圓通，如我所證，音聲為上。
——⭐⭐ 憍陳那為五比丘之首，最初聞佛聲而悟道之人（佛初轉法輪於鹿苑為五比丘說四諦）；「阿若多」（ājñāta，「最初解」）即此義。佛法之第一個聞道事件即由聲境發生——聲境之圓通條目排於二十五圓通系列之首（「音聲入道第一」），對應佛法口傳承史上之第一個受持事件。「妙音密圓」者：聲音之相雖剎那生滅，其性卻周遍法界、收去即密、發出即圓——此乃聲境之唯識—般若進路。
論
《大乘阿毘達磨雜集論》（T31n1606_p0696b01–04）展開十一種聲：
聲者，四大種所造耳根所取義。若可意、若不可意、若俱相違；若因受大種、若因不受大種、若因俱大種；若世所共成、若成所引、若遍計所執、若聖言所攝、若非聖言所攝。如是十一種聲……
⭐⭐⭐ 三軸 + 十一種：
| 軸 | 數 | 內容 |
|---|---|---|
| 情感軸 | 3 | 可意（manojña）/ 不可意（amanojña）/ 俱相違（ubhaya-viparīta） |
| 起源軸 | 3 | 因執受大種（有情身發）/ 因不執受大種（自然聲）/ 因俱大種 |
| 認識軸 | 5 | 世所共成（俗共許）/ 成所引（修所成）/ 遍計所執（妄想所成）/ 聖言所攝（佛聖宣）/ 非聖言所攝（外道宣） |
⭐ 認識軸五種為集論／唯識獨有之法分類——將「聲」上升為認識範疇：聲不只是音聲現象，亦是承載真理之載體，故聖宣 / 外道宣之分判作為聲境之內部結構出現。
《大乘五蘊論》（T31n1612_p0848b17–19）為入門最簡形式：
云何為聲？謂耳境界，執受大種因聲，非執受大種因聲，俱大種因聲。
——《大乘五蘊論》 僅三分起源軸；《大乘阿毘達磨雜集論》 / 《瑜伽師地論》 完展十一種。
按：聲境於唯識之十一種展現此境之教義豐富——前述五根 + 色境範式之上首見「認識軸」之分判（非現象學而是認識教義），將聲境從「耳所緣」之阿毘達磨定義提升至「教義載體」之教義地位。

śabda-viṣaya < śabda（聲、音）+ viṣaya（境；詳 #65）。
śabda ——⚠️ 印歐祖語詞源不立。曾擬之印歐祖語 *swep- 實為「睡眠」義（→拉丁 sopor），與聲義無關，non-cognate。曾擬之印歐祖語 *ḱweb- 非標準印歐祖語根（不見於主要詞源詞典），fabricated/misremembered。onomatopoeic 假說（聲音象聲）為語言學界之 working 預設，但無法建立正式同源鏈——śabda 可能為梵文-internal coinage 或前雅利安底層詞。Pāli sadda < śabda：śabd → sadd（清音叢→濁音叢之簡化 + assimilation；標準巴利化）。
⭐⭐⭐ śabda 於印度文化之份量遠超佛教用法：梵文文法學派（vyākaraṇa，Pāṇini–Patañjali 傳承）立 śabda-brahman「聲梵」為終極原理——聲即宇宙之言說自身、實在之根本面。Bhartṛhari Vākyapadīya 系統化此說。佛教用 śabda 之技術窄義（耳根境）而避其本體論承擔，但讀者當知此語境：印度思想之 śabda 不只是 audio phenomenon，乃本體-cosmological 判攝。憍陳那五比丘「妙音密圓」之印記隱含此 śabda-brahman 之哲學共鳴——聲性周遍法界、本不生滅，與唯識「音聲性空、唯如來藏」（楞嚴經文句 X13n0285_005）之講法跨傳承 resonant。

⚠ In Review · Vism XIV.74 sadda-rūpa 四相逐字 Pāli 待字元核校（同典範）。
按：聲境之南北不對稱乃瑜伽行派對「聲」之認識論之義理 upgrade——在 abhidharmic 之情感/origin 兩軸（南北共傳）之上，加入「聲作為教義傳承 medium」之第三軸。此升級非義理分歧，乃瑜伽行派對 abhidharma 系統之 own 闡發——聲不只是耳所緣，亦是佛法傳承之 carrier，故 5 種認識軸（聖言所攝 / 非聖言所攝 / 世共 / 成所引 / 遍計）作為聲境之 internal 分判出現。南傳將此認識論之維度置於 saddhamma / abhidhamma 之外部分判，非置於聲境內部。架構不同，義理一致。

「聲境」之梵文 śabda ——⚠️ 印歐祖語詞源不立。曾擬印歐祖語 *swep- 實為「睡眠」義（拉丁 sopor），與聲義無關；曾擬印歐祖語 *ḱweb- 非標準印歐祖語根，未見於主要詞源詞典。語音象聲假說（śabda 為梵文內部擬聲造詞或前雅利安底層詞）為語言學界之工作預設，但無法建立正式同源鏈——⚠️ 印歐祖語鏈條無法確認，如實保留此不確定性。Pāli sadda 由 śabda 經輔音叢簡化（śabd → sadd，清音叢→濁音叢 + 同化）衍生而來，屬標準巴利化。漢字「聲」從耳、殸聲，玄奘以「聲境」取「可聞之境域」義，對應 śabda-viṣaya「耳能達之領域」。⭐ śabda 於印度文化之比重遠超佛教用法：梵文文法學派（vyākaraṇa）立 śabda-brahman（聲梵）為終極原理，Bhartṛhari《句語論》系統化此說——聲即宇宙之言說自身；佛教取 śabda 之技術窄義（耳根境），但讀者當知此哲學共鳴。
Asg 五境共立句法（X-ḥ katamaḥ / catvāri mahābhūtānyupādāya Y-indriya-grāhyo 'rthaḥ，詳 →#65）於聲境實例化：śabdaḥ katamaḥ / catvāri mahābhūtānyupādāya śrotrendriya-grāhyo 'rthaḥ——「何為聲境？依四大種，為耳根（śrotra-indriya）所取之事（artha）」。聲境之內部分軸為三軸十一種（《大乘阿毘達磨雜集論》「如是十一種聲」）：情感軸三種（可意 manojña / 不可意 amanojña / 俱相違 ubhaya-viparīta）、起源軸三種（因執受大種聲——有情身發聲 / 因不執受大種聲——自然聲 / 因俱大種聲）、認識軸五種（世所共成 / 成所引 / 遍計所執 / 聖言所攝 / 非聖言所攝）。第三認識軸之開展——將聲境從「耳所緣之現象學分類」提升至「教義傳承之載體」，以「聖言所攝」vs「非聖言所攝」作為聲境內部分判，標記聲境作為佛法口傳媒介之教義地位。與 →#61 耳根為對，與 →#2 耳識為所行境。CWS 對聲境立「唯識所現之相分」立場，與五境共傳識變現結構（→#65）一貫。
南北傳聲境頂層對應直接：śabda-viṣaya ↔ sadda-ārammaṇa（南傳 28 色之 visaya 群第二）。情感軸南北會通（梵 manojña/amanojña/ubhaya-viparīta ↔ 巴 iṭṭha/aniṭṭha/majjhima）；起源軸結構共通（執受 / 不執受 / 俱）；認識軸五種為唯識所立之分軸（詳 →#65 南北段）；非教義分歧而是唯識對阿毘達磨之加深。南傳另將 vacī-viññatti（語表業）別立色法而不入 sadda，唯識則隱含含於認識軸之言語維度。共傳經式：Sotañca paṭicca sadde ca uppajjati sota-viññāṇaṃ（DN 22、SN 35.93；漢雜阿含 SA 273）——緣耳與聲生耳識，兩傳共承此緣起格式。Vism XIV 聲境四相待字元核校（同 →#65 典範）。
聲境有兩條修持進路：其一，聲之剎那觀——聲境之「來去而你觀之」現象性使其天然成為無常觀之利器：南傳 Saḷāyatana-saṃyutta 及念處聞門（「聽、聽」之念）即以聲之生滅短促為所緣。其二，聲作為教義傳承媒介——聞（śravaṇa）、思（cintā）、修（bhāvanā）三慧之首位即以聲為依——此正是認識軸「聖言所攝」之修持意義。《楞嚴》憍陳那「妙音密圓」排於二十五圓通之首，對應鹿苑初轉法輪佛法口傳之第一個受持事件（→#61 √śru → śrāvaka → śruta 之口傳架構），印記聲境在佛法中「入道第一媒介」之特殊位置。
玄奘漢譯「聲境」保留「境」（viṣaya，識能達之領域）之唯識本體論立場（→#65 詞源段）。英譯選 Sound-domain（複合譯）而非單字 sound——domain 保留「識所達域」之 viṣaya 義，避免「外在聲物」之誤解；Auditory-domain 亦可但較學術。本條於五境 cluster 中居第二位，三軸十一種之架構以認識軸為唯識獨特開展，聲境之子分類數（11 種）詳 S3 色法論文及 →#65 §梵 樣板表；全列擴展（8 聲 / 11 聲不同版本）詳驗證報告。不可見、有對。

英綜述en-synthesis
Sanskrit śabda-viṣaya compounds śabda ("sound, articulate utterance, word-sound") and viṣaya ("domain, sphere of cognition," see #65). Śabda has no securely established Indo-European etymology: the proposed PIE *swep- root (which actually means "to sleep," yielding Latin sopor) is unrelated to sound — a misattribution; *ḱweb- as cited in some sources appears to be a fabricated or misremembered root absent from major IE etymological dictionaries. The onomatopoeic hypothesis — that śabda is a sound-imitative coinage internal to Sanskrit or borrowed from a pre-Aryan substrate — is the working default in comparative linguistics, but no formal cognate chain can be established. (False-cognate alert: English sound derives from Latin sonus < PIE *swon-os — sonos root, not śabda root; English voice < Latin vox < PIE *wek̑-, also independent.) Pāli sadda derives from śabda by standard cluster simplification (śabd → sadd: cluster reduction with assimilation). What gives śabda its weight, however, is not its etymology but its cultural-philosophical position in Indian thought: the vyākaraṇa (grammarian) school from Pāṇini onward treats śabda as ontologically primary, and Bhartṛhari's Vākyapadīya systematically develops śabda-brahman ("Sound-as-Ultimate"), the doctrine that the cosmos is fundamentally articulate utterance. Buddhism takes śabda in its narrow technical sense (the auditory object grasped by the ear-faculty) and avoids the ontological commitment, but operates in a linguistic environment where śabda already carries this metaphysical weight. The Śūraṅgama yuán-tōng's framing of "wondrous-sound subtly perfect" (miào-yīn mì-yuán, 妙音密圓) — sound as something whose phenomenal arising and ceasing does not exhaust its dharmic nature — operates in a register that the surrounding Indian-thought-world had been building for centuries.
The sound-domain in Yogācāra is the second of the five viṣayas and structurally elaborates along three axes yielding eleven sub-types (per T1606): an affective axis (manojña pleasant / amanojña unpleasant / ubhaya-viparīta neutral), an origin axis (sounds caused by upātta-mahābhūta "appropriated elements" — sentient utterance; anupātta-mahābhūta "unappropriated elements" — natural sound; tadubhaya "both"), and an epistemic axis (loka-prasiddha commonly-known; siddha-upanīta derived-from-attainment; parikalpita conceptually-fabricated; āryair-deśita taught-by-noble-ones; tīrthikair-deśita taught-by-non-Buddhist-teachers). The third axis is the doctrinally striking one. The first two — affective and origin — are essentially shared with Theravāda's standard sound-classification and represent the abhidharmic substrate. The epistemic axis is Yogācāra-distinctive and lifts sound from "audio phenomenon" to "truth-bearing medium". By making "sound taught by noble ones" vs "sound taught by non-Buddhist teachers" a sub-classification of śabda-viṣaya itself, Asaṅga is encoding into the abhidharma the structural fact that sound is the medium through which dharmic content is transmitted. The ear-faculty (#61) had this concern in its etymology (śru → śrāvaka → śruta); the sound-object's classification carries it forward into the dharmic taxonomy. Two architectural points stand out: (1) Vasubandhu's earlier Pañcaskandhaka (《大乘五蘊論》) gives only the three-fold origin axis — the eleven-fold expansion is post-conversion Yogācāra elaboration. (2) Sound's content-bearing capacity puts it in a different structural position from the other four viṣayas — light, smell, taste, touch do not naturally bear doctrinal content the way utterance does. Yogācāra's classification registers this asymmetry.
The top-level identification śabda-viṣaya ↔ sadda-ārammaṇa is direct correspondence: same name (Skt śabda, Pāli sadda, with rule-governed cluster simplification), same structural position (second of four / five viṣayas), same definition (clarified-matter-derived domain grasped by the ear-faculty). Within sub-classification, however, the two traditions diverge architecturally. Theravāda's standard analysis gives a three-fold affective division (iṭṭha / aniṭṭha / majjhima) directly parallel to Asg's manojña / amanojña / ubhaya-viparīta, and a two-fold or three-fold origin division. Theravāda does not have the epistemic axis, and does not have vacī-viññatti (verbal intimation) as a sub-category of sadda — Theravāda separates vacī-viññatti as an independent rūpa outside the viṣaya group (parallel to its treatment of kāya-viññatti at #65). The divergence pattern is consistent: Yogācāra collects more material under fewer dharma-types with internal structuring; Theravāda separates more dharma-types with atomistic treatment. The epistemic axis is genuinely Yogācāra-distinctive and reflects the philosophical school's particular attention to the sound-domain as transmission-medium for dharmic content. As at #65, this is not ontological disagreement (both schools recognize all the relevant phenomena) but classificatory architecture. The Pāli canonical formula sotañca paṭicca sadde ca uppajjati sota-viññāṇaṃ in DN 22, SN 35.93, and parallels — and the Sanskrit canonical parallel in SA 273 — represent shared sutra-level inheritance; the abhidharmic elaboration is sectarian.
The sound-domain has two contemplative functions in Buddhist practice. First, sound as object of immediate observation: the canonical Saḷāyatana-saṃyutta instructions on sense-restraint and the satipaṭṭhāna noting practice ("hearing, hearing") at the auditory gate work at this level — the practitioner observes sound's arising-and-ceasing as the most ephemeral of the five sense-domains. Sound, more than any other viṣaya, comes-and-goes-while-you-watch-it; its momentary character makes it the natural object for impermanence-observation. Second, sound as transmission-medium for dharmic content: the three-fold wisdom (śravaṇa-cintā-bhāvanā, hearing-reflection-cultivation) names this register, and the entire oral-transmission architecture of Buddhism is hooked into it (cf. #61). The Śūraṅgama yuán-tōng's placement of Kauṇḍinya's sound-yuán-tōng as the first of the twenty-five entry-points is doctrinally weighty: it positions the historical inception-event of the dharma — the Buddha's first sermon at Sarnath, where Kauṇḍinya was the first to "understand" (ājñāta, hence his epithet Aññā-Koṇḍañña) — as the structural prototype of dharmic reception itself. Every Buddhist who has heard a teaching and understood it is, structurally, repeating Kauṇḍinya's reception. The sound-domain is not a neutral arena where dharma happens to travel; the sound-domain is the modality through which dharma reaches the practitioner. Concentration practices that attend to sound (nāda-anusandhāna, the Tibetan dbyangs sgra, the East Asian shēng-chén recitation traditions) work directly in this register. The phrase "wondrous-sound subtly perfect" (妙音密圓) names a practitioner-experience: at deep concentration, sound is no longer encountered as discrete event-and-cessation but as a continuous dharmic field-quality of the cognitive moment — a recognition that the early sutra evaṃ me sutaṃ formula performs as ritual opening. ⚠️ Provenance caveat per #60 譯者按.
Sound-domain (śabda-viṣaya) — the auditory field cognized by ear-consciousness, organized along three axes: affective (pleasant, unpleasant, neutral), origin (sentient-uttered, natural, both), and epistemic (commonly-known, attainment-derived, conceptually-fabricated, taught by noble ones, taught by non-Buddhist teachers); eleven sub-types in 《大乘阿毘達磨雜集論》. An aspect-portion of consciousness; the medium through which dharmic content is transmitted; second of the five sense-objects; the entry-point ranked first among the twenty-five yuán-tōng in the Śūraṅgama-sūtra's classification of paths to penetration.
