答:若許定心而現香、味,香、味隨心上地所繫,此即上地而有香、味,違諸教過,由斯定心不變香、味。兼疏所明合為三釋,言加行心即是因也。或疏所解不異前二加行之因,因即前二,更無別也。

Answer: If it were granted that the concentrated mind manifests fragrances and tastes, since fragrances and tastes follow the mind and are bound to the upper plane, this would mean that the upper plane has fragrances and tastes, which would incur the fault of contradicting various scriptures; therefore, the concentrated mind does not transform fragrances and tastes. Combined with what the Commentary clarifies, these make three interpretations in total: saying that the preparatory mind (prayoga-citta) is itself the cause. Alternatively, what the Commentary explains is not different from the prior two causes of preparation; the cause is just the prior two, and there is no other distinct [cause].
