瑜伽論記 17.91

17.91

Ce says: Ordinary worldlings possess both, whereas noble ones effect rebirth-linking succession solely by seeds. Against this explanation one might ask: Since those of the first two fruits have not yet attained dispassion, they ought to moisten through active manifestations; why does it say here that they moisten solely through seeds? Answer: It should be stated thus: Although persons of the first two fruits give rise to active manifestations, because these are subdued by wisdom and their efficacy is dull, they are conventionally designated as seeds by association; in actual principle, active manifestations are also included.
