成唯識論演祕 1.672

1.672

按彼論云：火合為因者，謂地所有諸極微色、香、味、觸者，釋一一地上所有色、香、味、觸，由諸極微與火合故為因生起，故論復云：色、香、味、觸，地所有極微和合者與火合，既云極微和合者與火合，明知火與地等極微合生香等。有云：前念之香而與火合為因，能生後念之香。又云：色等火合為因生香。又云：兩火極微而生子微。

According to that treatise: "Having conjunction with fire as the cause refers to the form, smell, taste, and contact belonging to all atoms of earth." This explains that the form, smell, taste, and contact belonging to each atom of earth arise with the conjunction of all atoms with fire as their cause. Therefore, the treatise further says: "The form, smell, taste, and contact of the aggregate of atoms belonging to earth are conjoined with fire." Since it says that the aggregate of atoms is conjoined with fire, one clearly knows that fire conjoins with the atoms of earth and so forth to produce smell and so forth. Some say: "The smell of the preceding moment conjoins with fire as the cause, and can produce the smell of the subsequent moment." Others say: "Form and so forth conjoining with fire serve as the cause to produce smell." Still others say: "Two fire atoms produce an offspring atom."
