成唯識論述記 3.542

3.542

述曰：初二句牒，下二句難，此就見分能熏為論。問：既爾，護法等如何釋此文？新舊之種，若隨用一，舊新種中，一無用故。又能熏有六，熏成六種，共生一果，為難亦爾，此乃自違，不勞他語。答曰：新舊因緣，能熏有六，熏成六種，勢力齊等，俱逢緣合，可許此類共生一果，如一麥中有多極微，可許同生一芽等果，非許一一微各各生果故。若爾，《成業》難多種生一芽，何為會釋？彼破經部色、心二法各各有種，共生一果，如二麥等共生一芽，非此所許。今五數中各有種子，共生一果，故是所非。若一識中，同類種子共生無妨，故此文言，若一種生，餘無用等。不爾，此言深為自害。若能持是一，多同類種許共生一果；若能持是別，雖同類種，不許同生果。

The Commentary states: The first two lines cite [the objection], and the lower two lines pose the challenge; this is argued with respect to the darśanabhāga as the perfumer. Question: If so, how do Dharmapāla and others explain this text? For regarding the new and old seeds, if either one is used, one among the old and new seeds would be useless. Moreover, the perfumers are six, perfuming to form six seeds that together produce a single fruit; the objection against this would be the same, which would be self-contradictory without needing others' words. The answer is: As for the primary cause of new and old [seeds], the perfumers are six and perfume to form six seeds; their power is equal, and when they together meet the concurrence of conditions, it can be allowed that this kind together produces a single fruit, just as within a single grain of barley there are many subtle atoms, which can be allowed to together produce a single fruit such as a sprout, but it is not allowed that each individual atom separately produces a fruit. If so, how is the objection in the Karmasiddhi against many seeds producing a single sprout to be reconciled? That [text] refutes the Sautrāntika [view] that the two dharmas of form and mind each have their own seeds that together produce a single fruit, like two grains of barley and so forth together producing a single sprout, which is not accepted here. Now, that each of the five caitasikas has seeds that together produce a single fruit is precisely what is rejected. If it is within a single consciousness, seeds of the same class together producing [a fruit] is unobjectionable; therefore, this text says that if one seed produces [the fruit], the rest are useless, and so forth. Otherwise, this statement would deeply harm oneself. If the sustainer is one, many seeds of the same class are allowed to together produce a single fruit; if the sustainers are distinct, then although they are seeds of the same class, they are not allowed to together produce a fruit.
