果与因相似，同类或相似的果法，前法为后法开导，持续不断地从生命之树中流出，被称为等流果。前法为后法开导是说，前善果引后善法相继，被牵引的后果与前因相似；前无记业引流后无记业同类跟随；前念恶行招引后面的恶业相继，果似因而流出。此果虽然是以前意识为主导，圣人说，应当考虑这是心整体的功能，八种识中都有等流果。

The fruits are similar to the causes; same category or similar species, formers lead succeeders, continually flow out, which are called equally stream fruits. The former guides the latter, which means that the previous benevolent fruits induce later benevolent laws to succeed, the led latter fruits are similar to the front reason; the former memoryless karma induce later same categories memoryless karma to follow; the former evil behaviors induce later ferocious behaviors to come, similar to reason fruits flow out. Although these fruits are dominated by preconsciousness, sage said that it should be considered as function of the whole mind, and eight senses all have equally stream fruits.

在因果关系的分析中，等流因由三种因构成：遍行因、相应因、同类因。遍行因是说心所有法中的五位遍行法（参见11.4.4.1.1小节），无处不在，可以为因。此处以前意识为例，当前意识生起时，与其相应的18位心所有法（参见11.4.5.1-1小节）会相应而起，此即相应因。同时，意处（即前意识）中的胜者招引分布在三界九地（参见插图11.6.2）的同类来分食异熟果中的可爱果；此即同类因。

In the analysis of causality, three types of reasons cause equally stream fruits; the three are omnipresent reason, correlation reason, and same category reason. Omnipresent reason, that is saying of the five Omnipresent Heartland Laws (refer to section 11.4.4.1.1); the five laws belong to heart, are pervasively exist in any time and space, can be reason. Correlation reason is saying that 18 correlative laws (refer to section 11.4.5-2) with preconsciousness; they arouse along preconsciousness, can be reason. Same category reason is saying that the 18 correlative laws summon their own species in three boundaries nine lands (refer to illustration 11.0) to come and enjoy lovable fruits, this can be reason.

广义上讲，等流果亦是异熟果；五果中的异熟果、士用果和增上果，都可以通摄一切因果。五果的区分需从依处着眼：习气依处得异熟果；随顺依处得等流果；士用依处得士用果；真见依处得离系果；所余依处得增上果。

In a broad sense, the Equally Stream Fruits are Mutant Fruits also; among the five fruits, mutant fruit, equally stream fruit, warrior usage fruit, and escalatory fruit are very broad, each can generally assimilate all causalities. To distinguish the five fruits, studier should look at dependent places: habitual dependent places gain Mutant Fruit; going along, agreeable dependent places gain Equally Stream Fruit; warrior usage dependent places gain Warrior Usage Fruit; true view dependent places gain Off-be Fruit; all other dependent places gain Escalatory Fruit.
