2.1008

此本有難。難意云：我言本有即合善、惡與異熟果而為因緣；汝俱新舊，豈新業望新異熟是因緣耶？此既不爾，彼云何然？

This is an objection by the proponent of innate seeds. The thrust of the objection is: I say that being innate, wholesome and unwholesome karma necessarily serve as causal conditions for the fruit of maturation; but according to your view that both are new and old, could newly arisen karma ever be a causal condition for a newly arisen maturation? Since this is not the case, how could that be so?
