17.101

「有餘師言至後感此等流」者,此師意說:一殺根本業道能感二果。若作此說,何故論云「令他受苦故,受苦異熟果。」根本業道其命既無,不可說言令他受苦,故知受苦是加行位。既違論文,故知此說非正。又解:一殺業言,具攝令他受苦、斷命、壞威三業。此三皆能先感異熟,此三者能後感等流。後文說三別感果,從強偏說,如下當辨。今言通感,強弱總論。於三業中,初、後是加行,中一是根本。加行果亦名業道果者,以是業道加行果故亦名業道果。若作此解,還順論文,可亦為正。此中問、答不言增上者,以必感故,非在所疑,或略不言。《正理》具說,故彼論云「有餘師言:即一殺業先受異熟,次近增上,次遠增上,故有三果。」

"Other masters say... later brings about this outflow" means this master intends that a single fundamental course of karma of taking life can bring about two fruits. If it is explained this way, why does the treatise say: "Because of causing another to suffer, one experiences the suffering fruit of maturation"? Once the fundamental course of karma occurs and the other's life is already gone, one cannot speak of causing another to suffer; hence we know that causing suffering belongs to the preparatory stage. Since it contradicts the text of the treatise, we know this explanation is not orthodox. Another explanation: The expression 'a single karma of taking life' fully encompasses the three karmas of causing another to suffer, cutting off life, and destroying majestic aura. These three can all first bring about maturation, and these three can later bring about outflow. When the later text speaks of the three distinctly bringing about their fruits, it speaks selectively according to what is prominent, as will be distinguished below. Here, speaking of bringing them about comprehensively discusses the strong and weak together. Among the three karmas, the first and last are preparatory, and the middle one is fundamental. The fruit of the preparatory is also called a fruit of the course of karma because it is the fruit of the preparatory stage of the course of karma. If explained this way, it accords with the treatise text and can also be considered correct. In this passage, the question and answer do not mention the dominant [fruit] because it is inevitably brought about and is not in doubt, or it is briefly omitted. The Nyāyānusāra explains it fully, as that treatise says: "Other masters say: A single karma of taking life first experiences maturation, next the proximate dominant [fruit], and next the remote dominant [fruit]; therefore there are three fruits."
