5.249

Now I say this is not so. If the first four were determinate in experiencing retribution, being solely the result and not karma, then one could not say that karma has five kinds. If one says that determination of karma and retribution is the clause of "both," that is simply the first three, so why state them separately? Furthermore, under which clause is that whose retribution is definitely experienced while its time is indefinite subsumed? The term would fail to subsume it. To subsume them while they are in conflict fails to see this principle. Therefore, relying on the original explanation, reason and scripture are without contradiction.
