瑜伽論記 1.97

1.97

基公釋難問：何故五識云身相應意識，不說身相應，并不言心地、識地竝。如釋論何故心所乃有眾多，唯以尋伺及定有，無以明分位作用等別，不以慧、非慧，癡、無癡等分位作用，辨差別耶？

Lord Ji resolves the difficulty and asks: Why is it said of the five consciousnesses that they are 'associated with the groups', while the mental consciousness is not said to be 'associated with the group', and neither is it called the 'stage of the mind' or 'stage of consciousness'? All these are as in the Commentary. Why is it that, although mental factors are so numerous, only investigation, reflection, and concentration—present or absent—are used to elucidate distinctions in status, function, and so forth, rather than using wisdom/non-wisdom, delusion/non-delusion, and so forth to distinguish status and function?
