17.53

論「亦有能續至非餘位故」,答。有兩類:若不造逆斷善根者,於現世中亦有能續。若造逆人斷善根者,於現世中定不能續,彼人定於地獄將死及將受生時續。准此文證,地獄生時雖續善根,續善根已受地獄也,造逆之人定至生有經劫等故。

The treatise says, "There are also those capable of reconnecting [...] because it is not in other states": this is the answer. There are two categories: if one severed the good roots without having committed an unpardonable transgression, one can also reconnect them in the present life. If one severed the good roots having committed an unpardonable transgression, one definitely cannot reconnect them in the present life; that person definitely reconnects them when about to die in hell or when about to take birth [there]. Relying on this textual evidence, although the good roots are reconnected when taking birth in hell, having reconnected the good roots, one still experiences hell, because a person who committed an unpardonable transgression definitely reaches the intermediate existence and persists for an eon and so forth.
