### [1.458](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799.1.458)

凡夫外道常等四倒，聲聞緣覺無常等四，故云種種。無始無明熏習成種，種必有果，子子相生，熏習不斷，如線貫珠次第相連，名惡叉聚。惡叉，梵語，此云線貫珠。經云「諸法於識藏，藏於法亦然，更互為果性，亦常為因性。」應法師云：「惡叉，樹名，其子形如沒食子，彼國多聚以賣之，如此間杏仁，故以為喻，喻惑業苦也。」

> Ordinary people and non-Buddhists have the four inversions of permanence and so forth; śrāvakas and pratyekabuddhas have the four of impermanence and so forth; hence he says "various." Beginningless avidyā perfumes and becomes seeds; seeds must produce fruits, generating offspring upon offspring, continuous in perfuming, like beads strung on a thread connected in succession, called a "cluster of akṣa fruits." \*Akṣa\* is Sanskrit, here meaning "beads strung on a thread." A sūtra says: "All dharmas are in the repository of consciousness, and the repository is likewise in dharmas; they mutually act as the nature of fruit, and also constantly act as the nature of cause." Master Ying says: "Akṣa is the name of a tree; its fruit is shaped like a gallnut, and in that country they often gather them together to sell, like apricot kernels in this land, so it is used as a metaphor—metaphorizing afflictions, karma, and suffering."
