6.25

Commentary: “The cause of homogeneous class is similar”: this means that the wholesome five skandhas in relation to the wholesome five skandhas reciprocally serve as causes of homogeneous class (the word “reciprocally” means, for example, the form skandha is a cause for form and a cause for the other four skandhas; the other four skandhas, in relation to form and so forth, can all likewise be termed causes). The defiled in relation to the defiled, and the indeterminate in relation to the indeterminate, across the five skandhas should be known to be likewise. The phrase “are likewise” means that, identical to the wholesome five skandhas above, they also reciprocally serve as causes.
