4.2

Among the nine gates of karma, in the fifth gate, that of karma, virile fruit (puruṣakāra-phala) is not mentioned because, apart from the three fruits, there is no distinct augmented characteristic. In granting the fruition fruit (vipāka-phala), it only says 'experiencing the fruition fruit in the narakas'. Fascicle seven of the Abhidharma and the Hetuphala-sūtra say: experiencing fruition among animals, hungry ghosts, and narakas. That is based on the fruitions experienced from the three grades—inferior, middling, and superior—of the karma of killing; this text is based solely on the superior grade, and therefore speaks only of hell. Furthermore, this text mentions one while that text states them completely; they also do not contradict each other.
