答中，初句通示。初下，別釋，先約方便釋。即上睡狂無記也。初明因前故感報。而下，明正成則非報。二約總別兩報釋。此義通前兩種無記。總報，謂地獄總受；別報，謂餘趣別受。如下，引證有三；前二證上縱放，後一證上睡狂。如經者，未詳何經。（有指《十二頭陀經》，彼文不出。）不覺是無記心。《五百問》。彼說昔有一執事比丘，手挃物器，墮餓鬼中；有羅漢，於廁聞呻吟聲，問之，答云：曾於此寺，為僧執事；手挃淨器，使不淨食與僧；墮餓鬼中，為蟲噉身，不得糞食，故此呻吟；羅漢為悔，方得噉糞等。誤觸，即無記心。《成論》。睡眠業者，如夢漏失，五吉之類。教人自業，如上所明。

In the reply, the first sentence gives a general explanation. From "first..." onward, it explains specifically, first explaining in terms of the preparatory stage. This refers to the neutral state of sleep and madness mentioned above. First, it explains that retribution is incurred on account of what preceded. From "yet..." onward, it explains that when the act is properly completed, it is not retribution. Second, it explains in terms of the two retributions: general and specific. This principle applies to both types of neutral states mentioned above. "General retribution" refers to generally undergoing retribution in hell; "specific retribution" refers to specifically undergoing retribution in the other destinies. From "as..." onward, three citations are adduced as proof: the first two verify the "laxity" above, and the last one verifies the "sleep and madness" above. As for "as stated in the sūtra", it is not clear which sūtra it is. (Some point to the Sūtra on the Twelve Dhūtas, but the text is not found there.) Being unaware is a neutral mind. As for the Five Hundred Questions: it states that in the past there was a duty-distributing monk who struck a vessel with his hand and fell among the hungry ghosts. An arhat heard groaning sounds in the privy and questioned him. He replied: "Formerly in this monastery, I was a duty-distributing monk for the Saṃgha; I struck clean vessels with my hand, causing impure food to be given to the Saṃgha. I fell among the hungry ghosts, my body eaten by worms and unable to obtain even feces to eat, which is why I groan here." The arhat performed deśanā on his behalf, and only then was he able to eat feces, and so forth. "Mistaken touching" is a neutral mind. As for the Tattvasiddhi-śāstra: karma during sleep refers to such things as seminal emission in dreams, the category of five duṣkṛtas. Instructing others and one's own action are as explained above.
