Regarding "meritorious karma refers to that which induces the maturation of fortunate destinies, etc.": meritorious karma experiences general maturation in the human and heavenly realms. As for "and experiences experienced concordantly in the five destinies": it experiences particular maturation in four destinies, while in the hells it experiences a similar particular retribution that is a fruit of outflowing; thus it generally says "concordant with the five [destinies]." There is an opinion: It is not so. The *Cheng weishi lun* says: When other texts speak of them having outflowing pleasure, one should know that this is stated according to conventional adaptation; therefore, in the Mahāyāna, there is no wholesome fruition there; because of wholesome karma, experiencing slight suffering is called obtaining fruition, with no further particular retribution, unlike the Hīnayāna where the four dust-elements of the hells are additionally induced by wholesome karma. Another explanation: Separating the asuras and combining them [elsewhere] makes six destinies; hence it says wholesome karma is concordant with the five destinies, but in reality it does not exist in hell. Bei says: There is an opinion that wholesome karma can also induce particular fruitions in the hells, as in obtaining a cool breeze in the minor hells.
