答。古釋云。且如眼識。從種生現。是等流果。眼根為所依故。名增上果。眼識作意警心。為士用果。或眼識能緣實色等。亦士用果。眼根是第八親相分故。亦異熟果。耳等四識。亦皆例此。若第六識種生現。是等流果。前念意根為能引。或能引前五識。故增上果。又能緣三世內外。境等用名士用果。能造當來總別報。名異熟果。約與異熟為因故。名異熟果。若第七識種生現等流果。前念第七與後念為所依。即增上果。內能緣第八見分為我。即士用果。能與真異熟識為所依故。名異熟果。若八識種生現。名等流。與第七為所依故。是增上果。能緣三境。及持種受熏。名士用果。當體是真異熟故。五離繫果者。唯聖人。非凡夫得。瑜伽顯揚等論皆云。異生以世俗智。滅諸煩惱。不究竟故。非此果攝。唯識論云。離繫果。謂無漏道斷障。證得無漏法故。若本智與真如合時。是離繫果攝。若後得緣真如時。是士用果攝。

Answer: Ancient commentaries explain: for example, visual consciousness arising from seed into active manifestation is a uniformly flowing effect. Taking the eye faculty as its support, it is called a sovereign effect. Visual consciousness's attention alerting the mind is a virile effect; or visual consciousness being able to cognize real matter and so forth is also a virile effect. Because the eye faculty is the direct nimittabhāga of the eighth consciousness, it is also a maturation effect. The four consciousnesses of the ear and so forth are all analogous to this. If it is the sixth consciousness, seed producing active manifestation is a uniformly flowing effect. The preceding thought-moment of the mental faculty being able to induce it, or being able to induce the preceding five consciousnesses, makes it a sovereign effect. Moreover, its function of cognizing internal and external objects across the three times is called a virile effect. Being able to create future total and particular retributions is called a maturation effect; it is called a maturation effect with respect to being a cause for maturation. If it is the seventh consciousness, seed producing active manifestation is a uniformly flowing effect. The preceding thought-moment of the seventh providing the support for the subsequent thought-moment is a sovereign effect. Internally being able to cognize the darśanabhāga of the eighth as self is a virile effect. Because it can provide the support for the true maturation consciousness, it is called a maturation effect. If it is the eighth consciousness, seed producing active manifestation is called uniformly flowing. Providing the support for the seventh, it is a sovereign effect. Being able to cognize the three kinds of objects and holding seeds and receiving perfuming are called virile effects. Its own substance being true maturation constitutes [the maturation effect]. Fifth is the effect of dissociation (visaṃyogaphala): obtained only by sages, not by ordinary beings. Treatises such as the Yogācārabhūmiśāstra and the Prakaraṇāryavācāśāstra all state: 'Because worldlings extinguish defilements through conventional wisdom, it is not ultimate, and hence not subsumed under this effect.' The Vijñaptimātratāsiddhiśāstra says: 'The effect of dissociation means that the untainted path severs obstacles and realizes untainted phenomena.' When fundamental wisdom unites with tathatā, it is subsumed under the effect of dissociation. When subsequent wisdom cognizes tathatā, it is subsumed under the virile effect.
