釋摩訶衍論 4.86

4.86

The root text says: "Furthermore, that which is called the mental consciousness is just this continuing-consciousness. Relying upon ordinary beings grasping and attaching ever more deeply, calculating an 'I' and 'mine', various false attachments grasp conditions in accordance with objects and discriminate the six sense fields: it is named the mental consciousness, and is also named the separating consciousness. Further, it is called the consciousness that discriminates objects, because this consciousness grows based on the defilements of views and attachment."
