On the Śāstra's: "We do not say ... there arises subsequent recognition": The author of the Śāstra explains further. It is not that when a different mind sees an object, another mind can remember it, because the continuum is one. Rather, from the seed of the specific capacity of the past mind that took that object as its cognitive condition, the consciousness of the present time capable of memory is induced. That is to say, as explained earlier, due to the power of transformation and distinction in the continuum, memory arises—what fault is there? By the power of this memory, subsequent recognition arises.
