3.56
Now, based on this text, although it speaks of karma of the three times, it also completely includes the eight karmas. How so? Karma determinate in time and indeterminate in maturation, and karma determinate in both time and fruit, are karma of the three times without needing to be stated as established; as for the two kinds of karma that are determinate in retribution and indeterminate in time, or indeterminate in both time and retribution, when they obtain their fruit it does not depart from the three times: whenever they obtain the fruit of maturation, they are subsumed under that time; therefore, it is said that in meaning the three times subsume the eight karmas. It is also possible that here it only discriminates karma that is determinate in both time and retribution among the three times; or it is possible that here it takes only the two propositions—determinate in time but indeterminate in retribution, and determinate in both time and retribution—as karma of the three times, and therefore does not subsume karma that is determinate in retribution but indeterminate in time, or indeterminate in both time and retribution.
