八識規矩補註 1.40

1.40

此言第六識獨能造引、滿二業，此業能招總、別二果。以業勝力能牽引故，名為引業；圓總果故，名為滿業。如畫者師資作模填彩，義可知矣。故《論》云：「一業引一果，多業能圓滿。」業招於果而有四種，謂一業引一果，一業引多果，多業引一果，多業引多果。此第六能造業招果，前五一分善惡亦能造，七、八二識皆不能造業，無記性故。若論八識招業成果，唯是第八前六一分；若非業招唯是第七，前六亦一分，善不善性故。所言總報者，乃善惡趣一報之主；名別報者，壽夭、貴賤、好醜等是。

This means that the sixth consciousness alone is able to create the two karmas of leading and completing, and this karma can attract the two fruitions of overall and distinct retribution. Because the preeminent power of karma can pull along, it is called leading karma; because it rounds out the overall fruition, it is called completing karma. It is just like a painter master and apprentice making a template and filling in the colors; the meaning can thus be understood. Therefore the treatise states: 'One karma leads one fruition; multiple karmas can complete it.' Karma's attracting fruitions has four cases: one karma leads one fruition, one karma leads multiple fruitions, multiple karmas lead one fruition, and multiple karmas lead multiple fruitions. This sixth consciousness can create karma and attract fruitions; a part of the good and evil of the first five can also create them; while the seventh and eighth consciousnesses cannot create karma, because of their avyākṛta nature. If we discuss the eight consciousnesses attracting karma to become fruition, it is only the eighth and a part of the first six; if not attracted by karma, it is only the seventh and also a part of the first six, because of their good and unwholesome natures. What is called overall retribution is the host of a single fruition in the good or bad destinies; what is called distinct retribution refers to longevity, premature death, nobility, baseness, beauty, ugliness, and so forth.
