Furthermore, within the present link of birth and aging[-and-death], because the causal consciousness and the fruit produced by consciousness and name-and-form are apparent, their names are spoken of, not that the links of form, etc., exist as separate entities in the present lifetime. In [fascicle] ninety-three, consciousness is the basis, and it is said that 'the karma of consciousness gives rise to the result of maturation'; here, speaking in terms of that which is based [upon it], it is said that 'the karma of name-and-form gives rise to the result of maturation.' This is because general and particular maturations, as well as the supported and the support, are distinct. Regarding 'because they necessarily operate relying on the six supports': this refers precisely to the six sense faculties included within name-and-form. Regarding 'Therefore, the sūtra states: Name-and-form is conditioned by consciousness': this refers to the bodhisattva's reverse contemplation of suffering and origination, reaching up to consciousness and name-and-form as mutually conditioned; when the contemplation of the truths was complete and the mutual conditionality was fully perceived, the contemplation of suffering and origination stopped at consciousness. This is extensively explained in [fascicle] ninety-three.
