二、約識兼解，二：初、約識正明。荊溪云：無八識則無生死涅槃者，八是異熟，故云生死，即此生死體是涅槃。又此識性體含此二。若爾，六七亦是生死之識，何不得名即涅槃？答：若通對者，義亦可爾。

Second, concurrent explanation in terms of consciousness, in two parts: first, directly clarifying in terms of consciousness. Jingxi states: "'Without the eighth consciousness, there is neither saṃsāra nor nirvāṇa': the eighth is maturation, hence called saṃsāra; this very saṃsāra in its substance is nirvāṇa. Moreover, the nature of this consciousness in its substance encompasses both of these. If so, the sixth and seventh are also consciousnesses of saṃsāra; why do they not get the name 'the very nirvāṇa'? Answer: If universally paired, the meaning can also be such."
