論「又諸同分至覺施設耶」,第五難也。《正理》釋云「如何於彼更無同分而起無別覺施設耶?由諸同分是同類事等因性故,即為同類展轉相似覺施設因。如眼、耳等由大種造方成色性,大種雖無餘大種造,而色性成。」

On the text of the Treatise, "Furthermore, for these generic similarities... how can non-different awareness and verbal designation arise?": This is the fifth objection. The Nyāyānusāra explains: "How can non-different awareness and verbal designation arise with respect to them without any further generic similarity? Because all generic similarities possess the nature of being equal causes (sabhāga-hetu) for entities of the same class, they serve precisely as the causes for the awareness and verbal designation of mutual similarity within that class. Just as the eyes, ears, and so forth become material natures (rūpatva) only by being made of the primary elements (mahābhūta), whereas the primary elements—though not made of other primary elements—nevertheless accomplish the nature of matter."
