Explanation: 'Ripening is an indeterminate dharma' means that the ripening result exists only among the non-obscured indeterminate (anivṛtāvyākṛta). 'Sentient beings' means that the ripening result does not extend to non-sentient beings. 'Arising from what is determined' means that the ripening result is produced by good and bad karma, hence called 'arising from what is determined'. Since the ripening result arises only from what is determined, one clearly knows it does not extend to outflow or nutrition (aupacayika), because the outflow result and what is nourished arise from all three moral natures; hence it does not extend to them. The above are the characteristics of the ripening result.
