大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 60.23

60.23

Regarding the Commentary's phrase: "The Treatise calls it 'distinction of time'": the Treatise, speaking with regard to cognition, says, "There are three characteristics: first, distinction of time; second, distinction of retribution; third, distinction of karmic impression (vāsanā)." Here, the latter two are placed under knowing the fruit; knowing the cause is the distinction of time.
