7.216

冤對相讎,連環不止。託至親之父子,發至怨之殺害,豈不怪哉。初生託質互有想愛,故云非無想相。後時成大父母遭食,故云無想。土梟破鏡、附塊抱果,子子孫孫相成相襲,業使之然,非自然耳。

Enemies and rivals mutually taking vengeance, the chain never ceases. Lodging in the closest intimacy of father and child, they bring forth the utmost enmity of slaughter—how could this not be monstrous? At the initial birth when lodging in form, there is mutually thought and affection, hence it is said 'forming out of non-thoughtlessness.' Later when grown large, the parents are eaten, hence it is said 'thoughtless.' The dirt-owl and the mirror-breaking bird, adopting a clod of earth and brooding on poisonous fruit, their sons and grandsons mutually completing and succeeding one another—it is karma that causes this, not nature.
