復次賴耶緣境微細,世聰慧者,亦難了故者,景云:賴耶現是知法自相,如眼識總見叢林,一念眼識差別,作解知法自相,賴耶亦爾,一念頓知內身外器無量百千差別,行解別知前事名知自相,得名頓量,故知賴耶一一念中起多行解,行解既多緣慮微細,世聰慧者亦不能了。

Regarding 'Furthermore, because the object cognized by the ālaya is subtle, even the wise of the world find it difficult to comprehend,' Jing says: The ālaya presently knows the particular characteristics of phenomena. Just as the visual consciousness generally sees a grove, and visual consciousness in a single moment understands and knows the particular characteristics of phenomena through differentiation, so it is with the ālaya: in a single moment it suddenly knows the immeasurable hundreds of thousands of distinctions of the internal body and external vessel; when the mental mode of understanding distinctly knows previous matters, it is called knowing particular characteristics, and it obtains the name of 'sudden measuring.' Therefore we know that within each single moment the ālaya produces many mental modes of understanding; since the mental modes are many and the cognitive apprehension is subtle, even the wise of the world cannot comprehend it.
