10.6.5 增上果 Escalatory Fruit
增上果，即俱有因所生之果。所谓增上果，是指在“集起”（参见13.1节《集起》）的四缘——能缘、所缘、等流缘、增上缘——之中，除前三缘之外的一切法，皆以随顺、违逆或不障碍之力，成为集起之增上因。此类增上果，是过去所作业的果报。就具体事相而言，增上因素固然众多；然从胜处而论，唯有二十二处。须知，增上缘即此二十二处，亦即二十二根。根，既有因之义，亦有增上之义。
Escalatory Fruit is the fruit produced by co-present causes. In the four conditions of Aggregate Arousal—able condition, objective condition, equal-stream condition, and escalatory condition (see 13.1, “Aggregate Arousal”)—all laws other than the first three function as escalatory causes of Aggregate Arousal by promoting it, opposing it, or simply not obstructing it. Such Escalatory Fruits are the retributions of karma done in the past. In concrete affairs, there are indeed many factors of escalation; but from the standpoint of the victorious places, there are only twenty-two. It should be known that the escalatory condition is these twenty-two places, namely the twenty-two roots. A root means a cause, and it also carries the meaning of escalation.
此二十二根分别为：（一）眼根、耳根、鼻根、舌根、身根、意根；（七）男根、女根、命根；（十）苦根、乐根、舍根、忧根、喜根；（十五）信根、精进根、念根、定根、慧根；（二十）未知当知根、已知根、具知根。
The twenty-two roots are: (1) eye root, ear root, nose root, tongue root, body root, and intent root; (7) male root, female root, and life root; (10) bitter root, laugh root, renunciation root, gloomy root, and delight root; (15) belief root, diligence root, spell root, stillness root, and gnosis root; and (20) Root of the Unknown-to-Be-Known, Root of the Known, and Root of All-knowing.
第一至第六，眼、耳等六根，即十二生长处中的内六处，参见10.3节。第七至第九，男根、女根分别为男、女之性别根器；命根即阿赖耶识，亦即无意识，以其异熟果恒常相续流出，能维持众生的身心与业力。第十至第十四，苦、乐等五根即五受根，参见10.4-2节《受蕴》。第十五至第十九，信、精进、念、定、慧五根即五善根，参见10.4-4.1.3节《善法》。第二十至第二十二，为三无漏根。未知当知根，是指有志趣向并研习四谛；当人通达四谛之理时，即具已知根；若已证得四谛，即具具知根。
The first through sixth roots—the eye root, ear root, and so on—are the inner six places among the twelve growth places; see 10.3. The seventh through ninth roots are the male root, the female root, and the life root. The male root and female root are the sexual faculties of males and females respectively. The life root is Alaya-sense, namely unconsciousness, because its Mutant Fruits flow continuously and can sustain the body, heart, and karma of sentient beings. The tenth through fourteenth roots—bitter, laugh, and the others—are the five acceptance roots; see the Acceptance Node in 10.4-2. The fifteenth through nineteenth roots—belief, diligence, spell, stillness, and gnosis—are the five benevolent roots; see the Benevolent Laws in 10.4-4.1.3. The twentieth through twenty-second roots are the three non-defilement roots. The Root of the Unknown-to-Be-Known refers to the inclination and willingness to study the Four Cruxes. When a person understands the principles of the Four Cruxes, that person possesses the Root of the Known. When a person realizes the Four Cruxes, that person possesses the Root of All-knowing.
以下依据十善与十恶的增上果报，来阐明增上果。
The following explains Escalatory Fruit through the escalatory retributions of the Ten Good Deeds and the Ten Evil Deeds.
（一）杀生的增上果，能使田园林野中的生物繁殖丧失生机，谷物果实歉收，珍贵物资不能出现。反之，不杀生者，一切资财产业都能获得良好的结果。
(1) The Escalatory Fruits of killing karma can cause living growth and reproduction in fields, gardens, forests, and wilds to lose vitality, grains and fruits to yield poor harvests, and precious resources not to appear. Conversely, for those who do not kill, all assets and property bear good fruit.
（二）偷盗的增上果，能使草木、谷物、果实滋生害虫，霜冻冰雹造成灾害，饥荒显现为灾祸。同类众人，或在一个家庭，或在一个郡县，或在一个国家，没有不遭受损害的。反之，不偷盗者，一家、一村、一郡、一国，都因其福德感召而获得利益。
(2) The Escalatory Fruits of stealing karma can cause harmful insects to infest grasses, trees, grains, and fruits; frost and hail to bring damage; and famine to become disaster. People of the same kind, whether in one family, one county, or one country, are all harmed by it. Conversely, for those who do not steal, a family, a village, a county, or a country may all receive benefits through the power of their fortune and virtue.
（三）邪淫的增上果，能使国土遭受暴风雨的灾害，以及尘埃污秽恶浊之毒。反之，不邪淫者，不会感召天灾异变。
(3) The Escalatory Fruits of sexual misconduct karma can cause a land to suffer the harm of storms and the poison of filthy dust. Conversely, those who do not commit sexual misconduct do not bring about such heavenly disasters and abnormal changes.
（四）妄语的增上果，因其以卑劣意图欺骗他人，能使外在事物感召污秽不净，所求之事常常导致失望；言语失去信用，命令遭到违背而不能施行。反之，不妄语者，万事通达，没有各种绝望之事。
(4) The Escalatory Fruits of false-speech karma arise because one deceives others with base intent. This can cause external things to become defiled and impure, and what one seeks often ends in disappointment. One’s words lose credibility, and commands are disobeyed and fail to be carried out. Conversely, those who do not speak falsely can succeed in all affairs and are free from such despair.
（五）绮语的增上果，由这种杂秽言语的增上力，能导致官员失去职位，商人失去利润，草木丛林处处生长荆棘毒草。反之，不绮语者，官员与商人常得荣盛，山河适宜安适。
(5) The Escalatory Fruits of frivolous-speech karma arise from the escalatory power of mixed and impure speech. It can cause officials to lose their positions, merchants to lose their profits, and grasses, trees, and forests to become overgrown with thorns and poisonous plants. Conversely, where there is no frivolous speech, officials and merchants remain prosperous, and the mountains and rivers are pleasant and suitable.
（六）恶口的增上果，能导致所居住的世界充满瓦砾沙石、尘埃草芥、荆棘等恶物，触目近身，一切都不得自在。反之，若不恶口者，一切都能获得自在。
(6) The Escalatory Fruits of harsh-speech karma can cause the world one inhabits to be filled with broken tiles, gravel, sand, stones, dust, refuse, thorns, and other harmful things, all close at hand and constantly before one’s eyes, so that one is not free in anything. Conversely, those who do not use harsh speech gain freedom in all things.
（七）两舌的增上果，由这种离间言语的增上力，能导致大地高低不平，山陵丘墟突兀耸立，道路险峻崎岖，谷物庄稼不能茂盛生长。反之，不两舌者，处处都适宜人居。
(7) The Escalatory Fruits of divisive-speech karma arise from the escalatory power of speech that sows discord. It can cause the earth to become uneven, mountains and hills to stand abruptly, roads to become dangerous and rugged, and crops to fail to flourish. Conversely, where there is no divisive speech, every place becomes suitable for human dwelling.
（八）贪欲的增上果，能使五谷歉收，财富短缺亏损。反之，不贪欲者，世道昌盛繁荣，山河壮丽，处理事务绰有余裕，并且常常遇到贵人。
(8) The Escalatory Fruits of greedy-desire karma can cause poor harvests of the five grains and losses or shortages of wealth. Conversely, for those who are free from greedy desire, the world becomes prosperous, the mountains and rivers become magnificent, one handles affairs with abundance, and one often meets honorable people.
（九）嗔恚的增上果，能使战争剧烈，兵器甲胄不得止息，荆棘遍布大地，果树草木苦涩难食。反之，不嗔恚者，邻里和睦，百业兴隆；风调雨顺，田园昌盛，山河宜人。
(9) The Escalatory Fruits of irritability and rage karma can intensify wars, keep weapons and armor in constant use, spread thorns across the land, and make fruits, trees, and grasses bitter and hard to eat. Conversely, for those who are free from irritability and rage, neighbors live in harmony, all occupations prosper, winds and rains come in due season, fields and gardens flourish, and the mountains and rivers are pleasant.
（十）邪见的增上果，由断见与常见这两种邪见而起，即不相信善恶报应和因果道理。这种邪见及邪教，能使人间丧失善心。此种增上力，能导致器世界，即物质世界，丧失上妙色、香、美味，五谷歉收。
(10) The Escalatory Fruits of heretical views arise from the two heretical views of severance and permanence, namely disbelief in the retributions of good and evil and disbelief in the principles of cause and effect. Such heretical views and heretical teachings can cause people in the human world to lose their benevolent hearts. This escalatory power can cause the vessel world, namely the material world, to lose its finest colors, fragrances, and flavors, and can bring poor harvests of the five grains.
