Therefore the treatise says: "Abiding dependent on the dharma of craving." However, these three similes above are all the root of defilement that can perfume; hence they are generally named the mark of own-nature. The perfumed eighth consciousness, which holds seeds and induces the mind, is matched to the cloud simile as explained below. Alternatively, the star symbolizes the perceiving aspect, the hair-moon seen by the cataract eye symbolizes the perceived aspect, and the lamp symbolizes the self-authenticating aspect—the self-authenticating aspect being the eighth consciousness. The later cloud simile merely compares the seeds within consciousness as future dharmas. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 7.158](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.7.158) - [Next: 7.160](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.7.160) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.7) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702~en-mt.7.159) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.7.159](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.7.159) · Pramāṇa
