成唯識論了義燈 2.52

2.52

The Abhidharmakośa master refutes this, saying: There would be the fault of confusing the three times, because you say that having activity is called the present, yet the efficacy of arising and the light of the forbearance of the dharma of suffering both have efficacy in the future; furthermore, the equal-and-immediate condition has efficacy only after falling into the past. All of these should be present, because they possess activity. The Nyāyānusāra rescues this, saying: What belongs to our present is activity (kāritra); past and future are capacity (sāmarthya). Bodhisattva Sthiramati, composing his commentary on the Abhidharmakośa, further refutes this, saying: What difference is there between your 'activity' and 'capacity'?
