104. D: sa bon thams cad pa’i sems rnam par smin cing ’jug la rgyas shing ’phel ba dang yangs par ’gyur ro. See Schmithausen 1987, p. 356, n. 508; and 2014, p. 325, n. 1490 for the Sanskrit reconstruction: *( sarvabījakaṃ cittaṃ) vipacyate saṃmūrcchati vṛddhiṃ virūdhiṃ vipulatām apadyate. See also Waldron 2003, p. 218, n. 13. Lamotte (1973, p. 65ff.) suggests kalalatvena saṃmūrcchati in his translation of the Mahāyānasaṃgraha I,34. The appended commentary describes how the appropriating cognition enters the mother’s womb by uniting with the semen and the blood (śukraśoṇita). The embryo with which, from then on, the appropriating cognition shares a common destiny (ekayogakṣema) is the result of this “coagulation.” On the topic, see Kritzer 2000.
