8.221

述曰:上來第一現起分別緣其種子、現行生訖,自下第二明種子亦應緣其現行及種子起。此言緣者,是「緣藉」義,非「緣慮」義,以種亦是分別攝故。今論解言緣生分別,現行及種望於一種子,能作幾緣問也。

The Commentary states: Above, the first [part]—manifestly arisen discrimination arising conditioned upon its seeds and manifest activity—is concluded. Below, the second [part] explains that seeds should also arise conditioned upon their manifest activity and seeds. This word 'conditioned' (pratyaya) has the sense of 'relying upon,' not the sense of 'cognizing and deliberating,' because seeds are also subsumed under discrimination. Now the Treatise explains that it is an inquiry asking: when discrimination arises conditioned, looking at one seed, how many conditions can manifest activity and seeds serve as?
