五、常、無常中生果、不生果分別。唯識「唯」難常生果故，雖有六句，一向是常，三通常、無常，一唯無常。實中四種地、水、火、風父母極微常，能生果；有能是常，亦能生果，是作果時定所須故；餘五句全、空、時、方、我、意五實雖常，不能生果。論自誠說：德句准有能中說有得果，所須十，通常，德亦能生果。隨其所應，業雖生果，而體無常，非此所說。無說雖亦有常，不能生果，非根本故。

Fifth, within permanent and impermanent, the distinction between producing results and not producing results: Because Vijñaptimātra 'only' challenges the permanent producing results: although there are six categories that are definitively permanent, three that are generally both permanent and impermanent, and one that is exclusively impermanent. Among substances, the four kinds of parent atoms of earth, water, fire, and wind are permanent and capable of producing results; capacity is permanent and also capable of producing results, because it is definitively required when producing results; the other five categories entirely, and the five substances of empty space, time, direction, self, and mind, though permanent, cannot produce results. The treatise itself genuinely states: in the category of quality, following the statement under capacity that there are ten required factors for obtaining results which are generally permanent, qualities are also capable of producing results accordingly. Although action produces results, its substance is impermanent, so it is not what is referred to here. Although non-existence also has permanent aspects, it cannot produce results, because it is not fundamental.
