Viśālamati, because a bodhisattva does not see appropriation within his own internal individual \[nature\], nor does he see the appropriating consciousness, and that \[absence of seeing\] is truly as it is; nor does he see the storehouse (ālaya), nor the storehouse consciousness; nor does he see what is accumulated, nor the mind; nor does he see the eye, nor forms, nor eye-consciousness; nor does he see the ear, nor sounds, nor ear-consciousness; nor does he see the nose, nor scents, nor nose-consciousness; nor does he see the tongue, nor tastes, nor tongue-consciousness; nor does he see the body, nor tangibles, nor body-consciousness; Viśālamati, because a bodhisattva does not see the intellect within his own internal individual \[nature\], nor does he see dharmas, nor does he see mental consciousness, and that \[absence of seeing\] is truly as it is—this is called a bodhisattva being skilled in the ultimate.
