The Dasheng chengye lun; Karma-siddhi-prakaran!a （Maha^ya^na Treatise Establishing Karma）. One fascicle， T 1609.31.781-786. By Vasubandhu 世亲， translated by Xuanzang 玄奘 in 651. The focus of this treatise is on articulation of the action of karma 业. It is explained that the karma created by physical action， speech， and thought is superficial compared to the situation when the a^layavijn~a^na 阿赖耶识 stores seeds of affliction. This is an intermediate work of Vasubandhu that shows how his ideas were developing since writing the Ko/sa 俱舍论 but not yet thinking like a Yoga^ca^rin. English translation from Tibetan in Anacker （1984）， and an English translation in Pruden （1988a） from Lamotte's （1936） French rendition of Xuanzang's version.
