(Continued from previous page) ...called the co-extension cause (*děngxíng yīn* 等行因). [Mind and mind-factors] mutually assist one another, and each is capable of serving as a cause [for the other]. Hence it is called the co-extension cause. Because great elements (*mahābhūta*, 大種) are not the same as mind [or mind-factors], when regarded in relation to derived forms (*upādāya-rūpa*, 所造色), there is no concomitant cause (*xiāngyìng yīn* 相応因). Because the productive great elements (*néng zào zhī dà* 能造之大) are not wholesome or unwholesome actions (*karma*, 業), when regarded in relation to derived forms, there is no maturation cause (*yìshú yīn* 異熟因). Defilements (*kleśa*, 惑) of the path of seeing (*darśana-mārga*, 見道) and path of cultivation (*bhāvanā-mārga*, 修道) universally pervade (*biànxíng* 遍行) defiled (*kleśa*, 染) realms and are capable of augmenting their power — these are called universally-operative causes (*biànxíng yīn* 遍行因). Because great elements are not afflictions (*kleśa*, 煩悩), there is no such cause [in their case].
From "Derived forms regarded in relation to great elements" to "capable of inducing great elements, therefore":
Below there are two explanations. This is the first.
"First, the operative cause (*néngzuò yīn* 能作因), etc.": It is not only the case that great elements regarded in relation to derived forms have this operative function (*néngzuò* 能作) — [the case of] derived forms regarded in relation to great elements also is not without this cause. The reason is that this operative cause is broad and does not obstruct [other relationships].
"Second, the simultaneous cause (*jùyǒu yīn* 倶有因), etc.": Within each [respective] grouping (*pūja*, 聚), a given productive great element or a given produced derived form also necessarily co-arises (*jùzhuǎn* 倶転), mutually assisting each other and unable to be separated from each other. Based on this [being true] in the majority of cases, [the text] explains that great elements and derived forms do not separate from each other, and there cannot exist a form (*rūpa*, 色) that is not a [product of] great elements and derived forms. The productive and the produced mutually serve as each other's causes and mutually serve as each other's fruits — [this] is not the meaning of "together obtaining one [and the same] fruit." Hence this cause exists. The reason is that the productive [elements] and the produced [forms] are in all cases inseparable from each other.
"Third, the maturation cause (*yìshú yīn* 異熟因), etc.": That whose cause is common to both wholesome and unwholesome [moral natures] and whose fruit is exclusively indeterminate (*avyākṛta*, 無記) is called the maturation cause. That is: [derived forms] are capable of inducing (*gan* 感) the maturation four great elements, relying on (*yi* 依) the seeds of wholesome and unwholesome actions (*karma*) of body and speech. The reason is as follows: that maturation cause is precisely the seeds of wholesome and unwholesome [actions] that are [defiled by] outflows (*sāsrava*, 有漏). If seeds of nominally-designated [dharmas] (*míng-yán zhǒngzǐ* 名言種子) of the indeterminate nature produce maturation [fruits], these are same-type causes (*tónglèi yīn* 同類因), not maturation causes (*yìshú yīn*). Hence derived forms regarded in relation to great elements serve as maturation causes. In order to make manifest this meaning, [the text] says: "[Actions that are] in conformity with moral discipline (*saṃvara*, 律義) and not in conformity with moral discipline (*asaṃvara*, 不律義) are capable of inducing great elements, therefore." Regarding "and the precepts concomitant with meditative absorption (*dhyāna*, 定)": The reason that only the precepts concomitant with meditative absorption (*dhyāna-saṃvara*, 定倶戒) are taken [into account] and pure (*anāsrava*, 無漏) precepts are not mentioned is that pure [actions] do not induce maturation fruits. It is from this that [one should]
【Lower Section】
know that what is here called "the precepts concomitant with meditative absorption" (*dìng jù jiè* 定倶戒) refers exclusively to defiled (*sāsrava*, 有漏) precepts concomitant with meditative absorption, and does not include pure (*anāsrava*, 無漏) precepts concomitant with meditative absorption. [This is] because pure [actions] do not induce maturation fruits.
From "Or [derived forms] serve as four causes" to "the rest can be understood":
This is the second explanation. The reason for adding the same-type cause (*tónglèi yīn* 同類因) is as follows: the same-type cause has two [varieties]. First, [those] subsumed under the direct cause-and-condition (*hetu-pratyaya*, 因縁). For example, [as in the case of] seeds regarded in relation to currently-manifest [dharmas] (*xiànxíng* 現行), or seeds regarded in relation to seeds, etc. Second, [those] not subsumed under the direct cause-and-condition. For example, [as in the case of] currently-manifest [dharmas] regarded in relation to [other] currently-manifest [dharmas], etc. That derived forms regarded in relation to great elements have the same-type cause means that [the relationship of] currently-manifest [dharmas] mutually regarded in relation to [other] currently-manifest [dharmas] constitutes the same-type cause.
As for the statement "as in [the case of] the drawing-forth cause (*yǐnfā yīn* 引発因)": Obtaining the outflowing fruit (*niṣyanda-phala*, 等流果) through the same-type cause has two varieties. First, [the] same-type [cause] subsumed under the arising cause (*shēngqǐ yīn* 生起因), which similarly obtains the outflowing fruit. As the *Yogācārabhūmi* (*Yújiā lùn*, 瑜伽論) fascicle sixty-six [folio eight verso] says: "The arising cause has the outflowing fruit, and is called 'a dharma that has a fruit'." This passage is cited as evidence that both simultaneous and sequential [relationships] are equally same-type causes. Second, [the] same-type cause subsumed under the drawing-forth cause (*yǐnfā yīn* 引発因), which obtains the outflowing fruit. As the *Yogācārabhūmi* says: "Taking the fruit arisen from prior seeds and regarding it in relation to the fruit drawn forth by subsequent seeds — this is called the drawing-forth cause obtaining the outflowing fruit." Hence it is known that currently-manifest [dharmas] regarded [in relation to each other] in sequence are also same-type causes. Here [the text] indicates the same-type cause that obtains the outflowing fruit within the later drawing-forth cause. Hence [it] says "as in [the case of] the drawing-forth cause."
"The rest can be understood" (*wúyú kě zhī* 無餘可知): Because derived forms are not mind or mind-factors, there is no concomitant cause. Because [they are] not of the nature of afflictions, there is no universally-operative cause. If these were individually distinguished, [they would be] as explained in the foregoing [discussion of] "great elements regarded in relation to derived forms." Hence [the text] does not again [engage in] selection [and exclusion]. Hence it says "the rest can be understood."
From "This explanation [concerns] the same world [as the arising of the great elements]" to "because [they are] not different-world [derivations]":
Below, [the text] explains the meaning of [the relationship between] great elements and derived forms according to [their temporal] world (*shì* 世). Within this there are two [parts]. The first marks out the position of [this commentary's] own school (*zìzōng* 自宗). The second, beginning with "Therefore one should simply accord with what is explained herein," sums up the position of [this commentary's] own school and

concomitantly distinguishes it from the Hīnayāna. Within the first [part] that marks out the position of [this commentary's] own school, there are two [sub-parts]. The first clarifies the meaning of same-world derivation (*tóngshì zào* 同世造). The second, beginning with "Only the disciplinary forms" (*lǜyí sè* 律儀色), clarifies the meaning of different-world derivation (*yìshì zào* 異世造). This is [the discussion of] the first [sub-part].
Both the Mahāyāna and Hīnayāna explain the meanings of same-world derivation and different-world derivation. The two schools agree in their explanation, but there are differences in meaning. As for the meaning of same-world derivation and different-world derivation as explained in the Hīnayāna, [this is] broadly explained in the *Mahāvibhāṣā* (*Pípóshā lùn*, 毘婆沙論) fascicle one hundred thirty-two [folio three]. In this present chapter, only the Mahāyāna interpretation is explained.
With regard to all *sapratigha* (having resistance, 有対) derived forms, etc.: these are necessarily same-world derivations, not different-world derivations. With regard to all *apratigha* (without resistance, 無対) non-manifested forms (*avijñapti-rūpa*, 無表色), etc.: these may also be different-world derivations, not necessarily same-world [derivations].
As previously explained, [the statement that] great elements regarded in relation to derived forms have only three causes, and that derived forms regarded in relation to great elements also serve as three causes — this is established exclusively with reference to *sapratigha* (having resistance) derived forms existing within various assemblage-locations (*jùchù* 聚処), as well as all *apratigha* (without resistance) non-manifested forms etc. existing in the present world, and explains that [these] have three causes. Hence [the text] says: "This explanation [concerns] same-world [derivation] and not different-world derivation."
Regarding the statement "there is [variation] depending on the assemblage-location (*chù* 処), etc.": "Assemblage-location" (*chù* 処) refers to the various assemblage-locations of stones, beryl gems (*maṇi*, 末尼), and other [collections of matter]. Hence the *Duìfǎ lùn* (*Abhidharmasamuccaya*, 対法論) fascicle four [folio sixteen verso] says: "Just as with the four great elements and derived forms — in accordance with their [respective] circumstances, it is not the case that all assemblages definitively have all four great elements and derived forms [in equal measure]. If in a given location there is a certain measure [of some element], these necessarily co-arise and do not separate from each other." Since [the *Duìfǎ lùn*] already says "if in a given location there is a certain measure," it is clearly known that "location" (*chù* 処) is precisely the assemblage-location (*jùchù* 聚処).
From "Only the disciplinary forms (*saṃvara-rūpa*, 律儀色)" to "great elements produce [them] together with good [moral quality]":
This is the second [sub-part], clarifying the meaning of different-world derivation. "Only the disciplinary forms": "Only" (*wéi* 唯) has the meaning of selecting and holding [what is relevant]. [It] selects and removes the *sapratigha* forms etc. among same-world derivations, and selects and takes hold of the *apratigha* forms etc. among different-world derivations. Hence the character "only" (*wéi* 唯) is marked out. "Non-manifest-action dharmas" (*buxiànxíng fǎ* 不現行法): Relying on the power of moral discipline (*śīla*, 戒善), the seven [branches of] transgression (*apakrama*, 非) do not arise — hence what is guarded against and prevented is called "non-manifest-action" (*buxiànxíng* 不現行). Already being [named in] accordance with what is guarded against, it is provisionally called form (*rūpa*, 色).
【Lower Section】
Hence, following [the logic of] the great elements that produce [forms in accordance with] what is guarded against by [the precepts of] that [world]: the transgression (*apakrama*, 非) that is guarded against is [located] in the past world; this precept capable of guarding (*néngfáng jiè* 能防戒) is [located] in the present world. Hence past great elements produce present forms — and therefore [such forms] also extend to different-world derivation (*yìshì zào* 異世造).
"Defiled forms and sounds are exclusively of the indeterminate nature (*avyākṛta*, 無記), etc.": This provisionally clarifies the meaning of different-world derivation in terms of the maturation cause (*yìshú yīn* 異熟因). The statement here that "defiled forms and sounds are exclusively of the indeterminate nature" — formulated in full accordance with the text above — should be: "Defiled forms and sounds are exclusively of the indeterminate nature; the provisional nature (*jiǎxìng* 假性) extends through all three [moral natures]." Hence the section on elucidating the substance (*chūtǐ mén* 出体門) above says: "Defiled derived forms (*sāsrava upādāya-rūpa*, 有漏造色) are exclusively of the indeterminate nature; the provisional nature extends through all three [moral natures]." Hence it is known that the [current] passage is abbreviated.
Wholesome and unwholesome derived forms regarded in relation to indeterminate great elements serve as maturation causes (*yìshú yīn*). Acting [in ways that create] karma in a previous lifetime, one later induces those fruits. The commentary (*shū* 疏), fascicle one [*Note:* cf. true-text first fascicle, folio six verso], says: "The maturation (*yìshú* 異熟) [cause] has many meanings. First: transforming and ripening (*biànyì ér shú* 変異而熟). Essentially, when the cause undergoes transformation (*biànyì* 変異), the fruit then ripens — hence [this meaning]. This meaning extends to other [cases] as well; when seeds produce fruit, all undergo transformation. Second: ripening at a different time (*yìshí ér shú* 異時而熟). Because the fruit ripens at a different time from the cause, hence [this meaning]. In the present case, the Mahāyāna takes [the matter] in terms of the time of derivation (*zào zhī shí* 造之時), not in terms of the substance of the seed (*zhǒng tǐ* 種体); [this] permits same-world [derivation], hence [this meaning]. Third: ripening as a different type (*yìlèi ér shú* 異類而熟). Because the fruit, being of a different nature from the cause, repays the cause — hence [this meaning]." In this present chapter, that derived forms regarded in relation to great elements serve as maturation causes is explained in terms of the second [meaning of] maturation — "ripening at a different time." Non-manifested forms (*avijñapti-rūpa*, 無表色) are also different-world derivations. With regard to the remaining *sapratigha* forms, [one should] know by analogy. This meaning is profound and subtle (*xuánmiào* 玄妙). Students should reflect on it carefully.
From "Therefore one should simply accord [with what is explained herein]" to "because [the great elements of] the past and future do not exist":
This is the second [part], below, which sums up the [commentary's] own meaning and concomitantly distinguishes it from the Hīnayāna.
According to the Sarvāstivāda (*Sārvastivādin*, 薩婆多), all forms of the three times are each [produced by] same-world derivation, and further, in accordance with [the respective] circumstances, there are also different-world derivations. Hence the *Mahāvibhāṣā* (*Pípóshā lùn*, 毘婆沙論) fascicle one hundred thirty-two [folio three recto] says: "Furthermore, in order to prevent [anyone] from saying that great elements and derived forms are necessarily of the same world, [this text] makes manifest that there are different-world [derivations] — for this reason this discourse was composed." All those who...
