增上果是說俱有因之果，是說在集起（參見14.1節《集起》）的四緣 {能緣，所緣，等流緣，增上緣} 中，除前三緣之外的所有元素，由或順或違或不障之功而為集起的增上因。此增上果是昔日所作的果。增上的因素就事而論有很多，但從勝處而言，只有22處。當知，增上緣即是這22處或根。根是因義，增上義。

這22根是（一）眼根，耳根，鼻根，舌根，身根，意根；（七）男根，女根，命根；（十）苦根，樂根，舍根，憂根，喜根；（十五）信根，精進根，念根，定根，慧根；（二十）未知當知根，已知根，俱知根。

Escalatory Fruit is said to be the fruit of a joint cause of the four elements of Aggregate Arousal (cf.14.1) {able, objective, equal stream, escalation}, all elements other than the first three causes are escalatory causes of the set-arising, by the effects of either promoting or contradicting or un-hindering. The escalatory fruits in this set-up are the fruits of what are done in the past. There are many factors of escalation as far as affairs are concerned, but in terms of the victorious places, there are only twenty-two. When it is known that the escalatory factors are these twenty-two places or roots. Root is the meaning of cause, the meaning of escalation.

The twenty-two roots are (1) eye root, ear root, nose root, tongue root, body root, intent root; (7) male root, female root, life root; (10) bitter root, laugh root, renunciation root, gloomy root, delight root; (15) belief root, diligence root, spell root, still root, gnostic root; (20) root of unknowing which should be known, known root, root of all-knowing all-seeing.

一至六，眼耳等六根是十二生長處中的內六處，參見11.3節。七至九，男根是男人的生殖器；女根是女性的生殖器。命根是無意識，因為無意識的異熟果不斷地流出可以維持眾生的身心及業。十至十四，苦樂等是五受根，參見11.4. 2節的受蘊。十五至十九，信、念等是五善根，參見11.4.4.1. 3的善法。二十至二十二是三無漏根。未知當知根就是趣向，願意學習四勝諦。當一個人懂得了四勝諦，他或她就具有了已知根。若證得了四勝諦，就具有了俱知根。

First to sixth, the six roots, including the eyes and ears, are the inner six of the twelve growth places; see section 11.3. Seventh to ninth, the male root is the genitals of men; the female root is the genitals of women. Life root is unconsciousness because its mutant fruits flowing out continually can sustain sentient lives, bodies, and karma. Tenth to fourteenth, Bitterness, happiness, etc., are the five acceptance roots, cf. the Acceptance Node of Section 11.4.2. Fifteenth to nineteenth, belief, spell, etc. are the five benevolent roots, cf. the Benevolent Laws of Section 11.4.4.1.3. Twentieth to twenty-second are the three non-defilement roots. The “root of unknowing which should be known” means that he or she interests to, wills to learn Four Cruxes (aka. Four Noble Truths). When a man understands the four cruxes, he has the root of having known. After she proves the four cruxes, she has the root of all knowing all seeing.
