注大乘入楞伽經 9.162

9.162

此段末一偈，如來順小乘機說。眾生眼識具根、境等五種緣時，從藏識生；然八識皆藉緣方生。舉一例諸，故但言眼識。若約大乘義，於八識中眼識一種藉九緣生：謂一空、二明、三根、四境、五作意、六根本、七染淨、八分別、九種子。耳識唯藉八緣而起，九中除明；鼻舌身三，各藉七緣識方得轉，八中除空；第六意識依五緣生，七中除染淨及分別；第七識四緣生，五中除根本，或三緣生，以根與境並屬第八；第八識四緣生，五中除根本，以第七識即所依根故。若加等無間緣，即如次：十九八六四五諸緣而生。如有頌云「眼識九緣生，耳識唯從八，鼻舌身三七，後三五三四，若加等無間，於前各增一。」故《唯識》偈云「依止根本識，諸識隨緣現；或俱或不俱，如波濤依水。意識常現起，除生無想天，及無心二定，睡眠與悶絕。」

This final verse of the passage is spoken by the Tathāgata in accordance with the capacities of the Hīnayāna. When the eye consciousness of sentient beings possesses the five kinds of conditions such as faculties and objects, it arises from the storehouse consciousness; however, all eight consciousnesses arise only by relying on conditions. One is cited to exemplify all the rest, which is why it speaks only of the eye consciousness. If considered according to the Mahāyāna meaning, among the eight consciousnesses, the single eye consciousness arises relying on nine conditions: namely, first, space; second, light; third, the faculty; fourth, the object; fifth, attention; sixth, the fundamental [consciousness]; seventh, defilement and purity; eighth, discrimination; ninth, seeds. The ear consciousness arises relying on only eight conditions, excluding light from the nine. For the nose, tongue, and body consciousnesses, each relies on seven conditions for the consciousness to operate, excluding space from the eight. The sixth mental consciousness arises depending on five conditions, excluding defilement-and-purity and discrimination from the seven. The seventh consciousness arises from four conditions, excluding the fundamental [consciousness] from the five—or it arises from three conditions, since faculty and object both belong to the eighth. The eighth consciousness arises from four conditions, excluding the fundamental from the five, because the seventh consciousness is its supporting faculty. If the immediately preceding condition is added, they arise respectively through ten, nine, eight, six, four, and five conditions. As a verse says: 'The eye consciousness arises from nine conditions, / the ear consciousness solely from eight, / the three of nose, tongue, and body from seven, / the latter three from five, three, and four; / if the immediately preceding [condition] is added, / each increases by one over the former.' Therefore, a verse in the Vijñaptimātratāsiddhi says: 'Supported by the fundamental consciousness, / the various consciousnesses manifest according to conditions; / either together or not together, / like waves relying on water. / The mental consciousness constantly arises, / except when born in the heaven without conceptualization, / in the two trances of mindlessness, / and during sleep and fainting.'
