7.217

問:既是怨對,無感生義,何得用附而生,怨中有愛?答:託質須資愛想,殺害由乎先業。愛想無常,由業所起。始雖起愛,後變成憎,故遭其食。

Question: Since they are enemies and rivals, there is no principle of affectionate response to induce birth; how can they rely on adoption to be born, with love within enmity? Answer: Lodging in form requires the assistance of affectionate thought; slaughtering arises from previous karma. Affectionate thought is impermanent and arises from karma. Though love arises at first, it later turns to hatred, and therefore [the parents] are eaten by them.
