俱舍論記 2.55

2.55

Regarding "Because the five consciousness-bodies... are called legless": Among the three conceptualizations, the five consciousnesses possess one and lack two; speaking in terms of the majority, they are called "non-conceptual." The analogy is understandable. The five consciousnesses necessarily possess intrinsic conceptualization; although they have discernment (prajñā) and mindfulness (smṛti), these are not conceptualizations. Therefore the fourth fascicle of the *Nyāyānusāra* says: "Although the five consciousnesses are associated with discernment and mindfulness, their functions of discrimination and recollection are subtle, so [these conceptualizations] are taken only as mental consciousness." Furthermore, fascicle forty-two of the *Mahāvibhāṣā* says: "The five consciousness-bodies of the desire realm possess only one kind, intrinsic conceptualization. Although they also possess mindfulness, it is not conceptualization by recollection, because they cannot remember. Although they also possess discernment, it is not conceptualization by deliberation, because they cannot deliberate (inferring from the *Mahāvibhāṣā* text, following past experiences is called recollection; 'reckoning' and 'deliberation' differ in name but are identical in meaning)."
