注大乘入楞伽經 2.212

2.212

此頌明前現識之海，性自常住，為彼六塵境界之風所飄動故。此七種識，現識之體以為內因，六塵境界以為外緣，興盛六種麁重相故。故云譬如巨海浪，由斯猛風起，洪波鼓溟壑，無有斷絕時，藏識海常住。境界風所動，種種諸識浪，騰躍而轉生。

This verse clarifies that the ocean of the aforementioned manifesting consciousness is by nature eternally abiding, yet is stirred and moved by the wind of those six dust-realms. For these seven kinds of consciousness, the substance of the manifesting consciousness serves as their internal cause, and the realms of the six dusts serve as their external conditions, causing the six kinds of coarse and heavy characteristics to flourish. Therefore it is said: "Just as the waves of the great ocean / Arise due to this fierce wind, / Billowing surges churning the deep abyss / Without any time of cessation, / The ocean of the storehouse consciousness is eternally abiding. / Moved by the wind of external objects, / The waves of the various consciousnesses / Leap up and arise in evolution."
