第四業位中,由軟不善故,生傍生中等者,十地經說:中品生畜生,下品生餓鬼。與此不同,鬼有二種:一、福德;二、薄福。此據薄福故中品,彼據福德故下品,亦不相違。現在所起名生位業;過去曾造之業,已生已滅但有業種,名習氣位業。

In the fourth, on the stages of karma: 'Due to weak unwholesome [karma], one is born among animals', and so on. The Daśabhūmika Sūtra states: the middling grade leads to birth as an animal, and the lower grade leads to birth as a hungry ghost. This differs from that. Ghosts are of two kinds: 1. those with merit; 2. those of meager merit. Here it speaks from the standpoint of those of meager merit, hence the middling grade; that speaks from the standpoint of those with merit, hence the lower grade; thus they do not conflict. Karma that arises in the present is called karma in the stage of arising; karma that was performed in the past, having arisen and ceased, leaving only karmic seeds, is called karma in the stage of karmic impressions (vāsanā).
