Ji says: This alternative means that both seeds and active manifestations are indefinite. That is, whether the two faculties of male and female actively manifest is indefinite. If the seeds are also indefinite, as the text says that without the faculty, the seed of the faculty is also damaged, so it is not included among those whose seeds are unaccomplished in active manifestation but definitely present; the five beginning with faith are also like this, as when one of wrong views damages and suppresses the wholesome seeds, they are also called unaccomplished seeds. This is found in the text on the three kinds of maturation, and hence is not included among those whose seeds are unaccomplished in active manifestation but definitely present. Among these, suffering is not taken because it has already been stated to be subsumed under the category where both seeds and active manifestation are accomplished. Now this is not so: although the five faculties beginning with faith and the male and female [faculties] are damaged and suppressed, their seed entities exist, and therefore they are called definitely accomplished in seeds. When in a state of swoon, the suffering faculty is interrupted; thus its active manifestation is not accomplished, while its seeds are definitely present.
