曲穢濁業,如《毘曇》說。彼論宣說「曲者從諂起,穢從瞋恚生。欲生謂為濁,世尊之所說。」諂心不端,難出生死、難入涅槃,猶如曲木難出稠林,故名為曲。從斯曲法所起三業,皆名為曲,以其因果相似法故。瞋恚之心能穢自他,故名為穢。穢法所起身口意業,名之為穢,果似因故。貪心濁亂,猶如濁水,故名為濁。濁法所起身口意業,名之為濁。問曰:餘結亦能起業,何故不說?釋言:今據一門為論,餘結起業皆入是中,所以不說。曲穢濁業,略之麁爾。

Crooked, defiled, and turbid karma is as explained in the Abhidharma. That treatise expounds: 'The crooked arises from flattery, the defiled is produced from anger; what is born of desire is called turbid—this is what the World-Honoured One taught.' A deceitful mind is not straight; it is difficult to escape saṃsāra and difficult to enter nirvāṇa, just as crooked wood is difficult to bring out of a dense forest; therefore it is called crooked. The three karmas that arise from this crooked dharma are all called crooked, because the cause and effect are similar dharmas. An angry mind can defile oneself and others; therefore it is called defiled. The karma of body, speech, and mind produced by defiled dharmas is called defiled, because the fruit resembles the cause. A covetous mind is turbid and chaotic, like turbid water; therefore it is called turbid. The karma of body, speech, and mind produced by turbid dharmas is called turbid. Question: Other defilements can also give rise to karma; why are they not mentioned? Explanation: Here we discuss it on the basis of a single schema; the karma produced by other defilements is entirely subsumed within this, which is why they are not mentioned. Crooked, defiled, and turbid karma is broadly like this.
