### [9.147](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.9.147)

梵阿賴耶，此云藏識，謂第八根本識而能含藏積集世出世間諸法種故，故云「藏識說名心。」然此識具能藏、所藏、執藏義故，謂與雜染互為緣故，有情執為自內我故，由是三義得藏識名。若是菩薩至第八地及二乘無學人，但有能所二藏，無執藏故。故此本識通有三位及七種名，如別章說。

> In Sanskrit it is \*ālaya\*, which is translated here as “storehouse consciousness” (citta). That is to say, the eighth fundamental consciousness is able to contain, store, and accumulate the seeds (bīja) of all worldly and world-transcending phenomena; hence it is said, “The storehouse consciousness is spoken of as mind (citta).”  
>   
> Furthermore, this consciousness possesses the meanings of being that which stores, that which is stored, and that which is grasped as a storehouse: because it serves as mutual conditions with defilements, and because sentient beings grasp it as their internal self (ātman), it receives the name of storehouse consciousness from these three meanings. If it is a bodhisattva arriving at the eighth bhūmi, or an adept beyond training in the two vehicles (dviyāna), they possess only the two aspects of that which stores and that which is stored, because they lack grasping as a storehouse. Therefore, this fundamental consciousness generally has three positions and seven kinds of names, as explained in separate chapters.
