「豈不前說至風為種子」者,述正義。豈不前說世界將成,由諸有情於虛空中業所生風能為世界種子故。故《正理》云「風中具有種種細物,為同類因引麁物起(已上論文)。」或此下世界將欲成時,即以前災頂風為緣,引生下地風起,此風能為世界種子。如二十空劫後將成劫時,用前壞劫第二定等火災等頂風為緣故,引下地風為其種子,生諸世界。壞望後成是其前故,名前災頂。
"Was it not said earlier […] wind acts as a seed": This sets forth the orthodox view. Was it not said earlier that when the world is about to form, it is due to the wind born of karma in space by sentient beings that can act as the seed of the world? Therefore the Nyāyānusāra says: "Within the wind there are various subtle entities, which act as sabhāga-hetu to induce the emergence of coarse entities (this concludes the text of the treatise)." Or, when the world below is about to form, it takes the culminating wind of the preceding disaster as a condition to induce the arising of the wind of the lower realm; this wind can act as the seed of the world. Just as, when the kalpa of formation is imminent after the twenty kalpas of emptiness, taking as a condition the culminating wind of the fire disaster and so forth of the Second Dhyāna and so on during the preceding kalpa of destruction, it induces the wind of the lower realm to be its seed, giving birth to the worlds. Because the destruction is prior with respect to the subsequent formation, it is called the culmination of the preceding disaster.
