As for "all tainted minds and, etc.": when a mind arises, it has the functions of seeing objects and transforming into objects. The seeing that arises, in view of distinct objective marks, perfuses and forms seeds; the objective marks into which it transforms appear to consciousness and also perfuse and form seeds. When a subsequent mind arises, from these seeds it transforms into and generates the two aspects of seeing and mark. Since the subsequent mind is like this, the prior mind is also like this: seeds serve as causes and manifest activities are results; manifest activities serve as causes and seeds are results. In this way, alternating and established from beginningless time, there is the mutual generation of seeds and manifestations of the aspects of seeing and mark. Since they arise from causes, they are subsumed under the other-dependent [nature].
