大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 67.22

67.22

疏「今無明緣行」下，二舉今經明得報義。於中二：先正明、後結酬外難。今初，對前三不得報。「今無明緣行則顯已作」者，此揀第一未作業也。既為無明所發之行，此行要是能感當報，故非向來不思之業。

Regarding the Commentary's line beginning with "Now, with ignorance conditioning formative action": second, adducing the present sūtra passage to explain the meaning of receiving retribution. Within this there are two parts: first, explaining directly; second, concluding with a response to the external objection. For the first: contrasting with the previous three [kinds of karma that] do not receive retribution. "'Now, with ignorance conditioning formative action' reveals that it has already been performed": this sets apart the first [kind], karma not yet performed. Since it is formative action initiated by ignorance, this formative action must certainly be capable of inducing future retribution; hence it is not karma of which one previously was unmindful.
