「又經所說至福業續起」者，此下破第三證。福增長者，經部先代軌範師釋：由法爾力熏習種子福業增長。施主非一名如如，受者非一名如是如是。由諸受者受用施物，能修慈等功德，攝益身、心，身、心康強有差別故。又解：由諸受者受用施物得慈定等種種功德，攝益眾生有差別故。於後施主心雖起惡、無記異緣，而前緣施思所熏習種子在施主身中，行相微細相續不斷，後漸轉變無間生果，功力勝前差別而生。此五竝是種子異名，由此思種子當來能感富等多果，故密意說思所熏種子恒時相續、福業漸增、福業續起，非顯說也。

"Furthermore, that which the sūtra states ... the continuous arising of meritorious karma" refutes the third proof below. Regarding the increase of merit, the ancient masters of the Sautrāntika explain: through the inherent power of the nature of things, the perfumed seeds bring about the increase of meritorious karma. That the donors are manifold is expressed by 'as ... as', and that the recipients are manifold is expressed by 'so ... so'. Because the various recipients consume the given items, they are able to cultivate virtues such as benevolence and bring benefit to body and mind, resulting in differences in the strength and vigor of their bodies and minds. Another explanation: because the various recipients consume the given items, they attain various virtues such as the samādhi of benevolence, resulting in differences in their gathering and benefiting of sentient beings. Subsequently, even if evil or indeterminate alien conditions arise in the donor's mind, the seed perfumed by the earlier volition regarding the gift resides within the donor's physical continuum; its active aspect is subtle, continuous, and unbroken, and later it gradually undergoes transformation to directly produce a fruit, its efficacy being superior to before and arising with distinctions. These five are all synonyms for the seed. Because this seed of volition can in the future induce multiple fruits such as wealth, it was spoken with esoteric intention that the seed perfumed by volition is constantly continuous, that meritorious karma gradually increases, and that meritorious karma continuously arises—it was not an explicit statement.
