'Differing in maturation， 'changed through maturation;' heterogeneous （results）; or simply 'results' （due to various kinds of good， evil and neutral causes）.' A term that basically describes an important characteristic of the ripening of karma into results， or new phenomena， in that when one thing produces another， the next thing that is produced， while having a direct and close relation to its cause， must also be something different from its cause. According to the particular tradition and text， various connotations of this notion are emphasized: （1） The variance in times and types of karmic maturation or fruition （Skt. vipa^ka， vaipa^kya， Tib. rnam par smin）. The deviation of results （karmic fruits） in relation to the quality of their causes. The fact that good and evil fruits can seem to have neutral 无记， or even opposite results. （2） The separation between causes and their fruition through succeeding worlds， or time. （3） The results of activity; the results of moral intention. The various results of good and evil actions. （Pali: phala）. （4） "Already matured fruits" of karmic activity. （5）In Yoga^ca^ra usage， the term refers especially to the natural fruition of the latent power of good and evil activities （karma）， and is used especially in reference to the a^layavijn~a^na 阿赖耶识. In the Chengweishi lun 成唯识论， the variant maturation of the a^laya is distinguished from that of other consciousnesses， since the latter are actually produced from the former. ［有部律， T vol. 23， p. 647c; 集异门论， T vol. 26， p. 369c.; 成唯识论， T vol. 31， p. 1a.; 瑜伽论T 1579.30.290c23］ （6） A reference to unenlightened activity wherein one bases one's activities on knowledge of worldly phenomena instead of knowledge of reality.
