17.4

七業亦道故者，前七是業，身、語業故。亦業之道，思所遊故，由等起思託身、語轉故。身、語七思所遊履，亦業之道故，前七業，業之道故，立業道名。上業身、語業，下業等起思，故名業業。故業道者，具顯業道、業業道義。雖不同類，業道名同，而一業為餘業，一道為餘道。猶如世間車牛名同，而一車牛名為餘車牛故。於典籍中，如言識住，雖四識住，性類不同，識住名同，而一識住名為餘識住故。離殺等七無貪等三，立業道名，類前應釋。

Regarding "because the seven are karma and also paths," the preceding seven are karma, because they are bodily and vocal karma. They are also paths of karma because they are trodden by volition, since originating volition operates by relying on body and speech. Body and speech are the seven [items] trodden by volition, and are also paths of karma; therefore, because the preceding seven are karma and are also paths of karma, they are given the name karmapatha. The former "karma" refers to bodily and vocal karma, and the latter "karma" refers to originating volition; therefore they are called "karma-karma." Hence karmapatha fully expresses the meaning of both "path of karma" and "karma as a path of karma." Although they are not of the same category, they share the name karmapatha, just as one is karma for the remaining karma, and one is path for the remaining paths. It is just as in the world carts and oxen share the designation [of draft-vehicle], yet one "cart and ox" is designated for another cart and ox. In the texts, as in the expression "stations of consciousness," although the four stations of consciousness differ in nature and category, they share the name station of consciousness, and one station of consciousness is designated for another station of consciousness. Abstaining from killing and the rest of the seven, and non-covetousness and the rest of the three, are established as karmapathas, and should be explained analogously to the above.
