瑜伽論記 13.117

13.117

有人云：西方有諍者非也。一釋亦變為境門攝，非內根一攝故，此中總言緣器，不別疏牒，若以第八緣種子，種子何故能生識，緣他身根，此根何故不能生他識？

Someone said: 'There is dispute in the West'—this is incorrect. One interpretation says: It also transforms them as subsumed under the category of objects, not as subsumed under one's internal faculties. Here it speaks generally of taking the container as an intentional object without detailing it separately. If the eighth takes seeds as intentional objects, why are seeds able to generate consciousness, whereas when it takes another's bodily faculties as intentional objects, why can these faculties not generate another's consciousness?
