答。有四種。一隨眠。二纏無明。三相應。四不共。外法異生具四。內法異生除不共無明。入信位第七心。及加行位中。是內法。十信第七心前有退故。及資糧位中。名外法。若內法異生。頓悟即造業。漸悟不造。頌悟中悲增造。智增不造。十地位中八地已去。定不發業。惑體無故。七地已前。或云聖人。以無漏明為緣而不發業。設有俱生。但助願潤生而已。又云。七地已前俱生起時。亦造別報善業。

Answer: There are four kinds: first, anuśaya; second, enveloping avidyā; third, associated [avidyā]; fourth, unshared [avidyā]. Ordinary beings outside the Dharma possess all four; ordinary beings within the Dharma exclude unshared avidyā. Entering the seventh mind of the stage of faith, as well as the stage of preparatory application, is [to be] within the Dharma; prior to the seventh mind of the ten faiths, because there is retrogression, and within the stage of provisions, one is called 'outside the Dharma'. If an ordinary being within the Dharma awakens suddenly, karma is immediately created; if awakening gradually, it is not created. Among those praised for awakening, when compassion predominates, it is created; when wisdom predominates, it is not created. From the eighth bhūmi onwards among the ten bhūmis, karma is definitely not initiated, because the substance of delusion is absent. Prior to the seventh bhūmi, some say of the noble ones that, because pure brightness serves as the condition, karma is not initiated; even if there are innate [kleśas], they merely assist vows to moisten rebirth, and nothing more. Others say: prior to the seventh bhūmi, when the innate arises, wholesome karma of particular recompense is also created.
