Answer: The substance of the contemplating mind is not a fruit of maturation; only the eighth consciousness is true maturation. 2. Fruit of equal outflow: this contemplating mind and mental factors are born from their own seeds; seed and manifestation are both wholesome, their flow and class being equal. 3. Fruit of detachment: this defiled contemplation has not yet severed the bound dharmas of hindrances and defilements, so it is not a fruit of detachment. 4. Fruit of virile activity: there are two: 1. Human virile activity: this person is able to engage in this contemplation; the human acts with virile activity, and because the contemplating mind is accomplished, it is a fruit of virile activity; 2. Dharmic virile activity: when engaging in this contemplation, the various conditioning dharmas and so forth have power, like the virile effort of a man in the world, accomplishing the contemplating mind, which is the fruit of virile activity. 5. Dominant fruit: any dharma not included in the preceding four fruits that has the sense of according with the contemplating mind serves as its cause; when the contemplating mind is accomplished, it is the dominant fruit.
