3.118

述曰:種子望種,大乘為同類因,亦如於彼現望於現,非現望現為因緣攝,同類因也,以疎遠故,非親近故。此等諸文,《攝論》皆有。

The Commentary states: Seeds viewed in relation to seeds are similar-type causes (sabhāga-hetu) in the Mahāyāna, just like actual manifestations viewed in relation to actual manifestations over there; it is not that actual manifestations viewed in relation to actual manifestations are subsumed under causal conditions, but are similar-type causes, because they are distant and indirect, not immediate and proximate. All these passages are found in the Mahāyānasaṃgraha.
