2.217

諸識本寂,妄塵無體,由不覺故前五識轉,覽現塵境,第六分別,起惑造業。第七傳送執我我所,能廣積集,同為能熏第八藏識,受熏持種,積集不亡,展轉為因,流轉不息。故云心能積集業,意能廣積集,了別故名識,對現境說五。

The various consciousnesses are fundamentally quiescent, and the delusive dusts lack substance. Because of non-awakening, the first five consciousnesses evolve, apprehending the present dusty sense-objects. The sixth conceptualizes, giving rise to delusions and generating karma. The seventh conveys and transmits, grasping at ātman and ātmīya, able to accumulate extensively. Together they act as perfumers of the eighth storehouse consciousness, which receives the perfuming and maintains the bījas, accumulating without losing [them]. Mutually serving as causes, they cycle without cease. Therefore it says: 'The mind can accumulate karma, the manas can accumulate extensively, because of discrimination it is called consciousness, and with respect to present objects five are spoken of.'
