7.217

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.
