瑜伽論記 3.8

3.8

Under the environmental fruit (adhipati-phala), this is distinguished into ten fruits on the basis of a single entity, whereas the Abhidharma distinguishes ten fruits on the basis of various matters; hence, each is different and their meanings distinct. Here there are ten clauses, which are also matched respectively according to the order of the courses of karma. 'Unfavorable' means not accordant with human desires. Jing's Supplement states: Relying on the Vibhāṣā, there are two explanations: 1. One says that preliminary karma causes short life among humans, while root karma causes birth in the evil destinies; 2. The other says that when one holds a blade wishing to kill a person, causing their complexion to lose its luster and causing external amenities to diminish in luster, the aspect of causing the other to suffer leads to birth in the evil destinies to suffer pain, while the aspect of severing the other's life faculty without continuation leads later to experiencing a short lifespan among humans.
