「作者即是至說彼能憶」者,論主述宗通釋。作者,即是前說念因,非是實我。謂彼念類心差別種,能令後果念取境故,說前念因名為作者。然世間所言制怛羅能憶。此制怛羅,非是實我,此於蘊相續假我立制怛羅名。從先見心熏種為因,後憶念果起。於憶念果起,於憶念果上立制怛羅名,故言依如是理說彼能憶。制怛羅,是星名,正月出現,正月從此星為名。於此月生故,以此星為名。若執我者於此月生,即說實我名制怛羅,故今通釋。

Regarding 'The agent is precisely [...] one says that it remembers': the author of the treatise states his tenet to provide a thorough explanation. The 'agent' is precisely the previously explained cause of mindfulness, not a real self. That is, because that seed consisting in a specific state of mind homogenous with mindfulness can cause the subsequent fruition—mindfulness—to apprehend the object, the preceding cause of mindfulness is spoken of as an 'agent'. However, what the world speaks of as 'Caitra remembers'—this Caitra is not a real self; over the continuum of skandhas as a nominal self, the name Caitra is established. With the perfumed seed from the mind that previously saw as cause, the subsequent fruition of remembrance arises. Over the fruition of remembrance the name Caitra is established; therefore it is said that in accordance with this principle one says that 'he can remember'. 'Caitra' is the name of a constellation that appears in the first month, and the first month takes its name from this constellation. Because one is born in this month, one is named after this constellation. If one who grasps at a self is born in this month, he says that the real self is named Caitra; therefore it is now explained in this way.
