8.68

On the Śāstra's statement: "If it were otherwise ... its essence would not be intermediate existence": this explains by the contrary. If it were not exclusively non-obscured and neutral, then the destinies would be confused. Because within a single destiny there can exist karma and defilements belonging to all five destinies, it is clear that destinies are not subsumed under the good and defiled. "The five destinies are only counted among sentient beings", and so forth, can be understood from the text.
