8.11
The second verse is the knowledge power of the retribution of past, future, and present karma, which the Yogācārabhūmi calls the knowledge power of one's own karma. Saying here "all karma" means that among the three times, the three karmas such as the wholesome, as well as karma experienced in the present life, are all called one's own karma. This is because one knows in accordance with reality the karma whose fruits one experiences through what one has done oneself. How does it differ from the first? Correctly knowing that the created wholesome and other karmas induce pleasing and other fruits is due to the first power; knowing that the agent creates wholesome, unwholesome, and other karmas that induce pleasing and other fruits is the power of one's own karma. In the text, the first half indicates past causes, and the second half indicates present fruits.
