果與因相似，同類或相似的果法，前法為後法開導，持續不斷地從生命之樹中流出，被稱為等流果。前法為後法開導是說，前善果引後善法相繼，被牽引的後果與前因相似；前無記業引流後無記業同類跟隨；前念惡行招引後面的惡業相繼，果似因而流出。此果雖然是以前意識為主導，聖人說，應當考慮這是心整體的功能，八種識中都有等流果。

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.

在因果關係的分析中，等流因由三種因構成：遍行因、相應因、同類因。遍行因是說心所有法中的五位遍行法（參見11.4.4.1.1小節），無處不在，可以為因。此處以前意識為例，當前意識生起時，與其相應的18位心所有法（參見11.4.5.1-1小節）會相應而起，此即相應因。同時，意處（即前意識）中的勝者招引分布在三界九地（參見插圖11.6.2）的同類來分食異熟果中的可愛果；此即同類因。

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.

廣義上講，等流果亦是異熟果；五果中的異熟果、士用果和增上果，都可以通攝一切因果。五果的區分需從依處着眼：習氣依處得異熟果；隨順依處得等流果；士用依處得士用果；真見依處得離系果；所余依處得增上果。

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.
