答。具三義故。所以不緣。一能對治故。即無漏然對治有污法。亦能破壞有漏法。二體性異故。以第八唯無記。無漏種子唯善性。三不相順故。以無漏種子。不順有漏第八識故。無漏善性。不順無記性故。所以不緣。

Answer: Because they possess three characteristics, it does not condition them: 1. because they are an antidote: namely, being untainted, they act as an antidote to defiled dharmas and can also destroy tainted dharmas; 2. because their essential natures are distinct: the eighth is exclusively indeterminate, while untainted seeds are exclusively of a wholesome nature; 3. because they are not mutually compliant: untainted seeds do not comply with the tainted eighth consciousness, for the untainted wholesome nature does not comply with the indeterminate nature. Therefore it does not condition them.
