瑜伽論記 13.161

13.161

基云：此約身為論，以身量小故名狹小。有義：以器外有大小量說，等如小千界等。基又說：以諸十八界多小說小大緣，如無色界無色無身以何為小大，故說諸界名為大小，以無色界約法處說大小故，其義未解。三藏云：彼心或廣、或略熏成種時，第八緣此種，種從現行，名廣略等，非緣現行。

Ji says: This is discussed in terms of the body; because the body's measure is small, it is called 'narrow and small.' Another view says: It is spoken of in terms of the external vessel having large and small measures, as in a small-thousandworld, etc. Ji further states: Small and large cognitions are spoken of in terms of the majority or minority of the eighteen dhātus; for example, the Formless Realm has no form and no body, so in terms of what would it be small or large? Therefore, the dhātus are spoken of as large or small, because the Formless Realm is spoken of as large or small in terms of the dhātu of dharmas (dharmadhātu). This meaning is not yet clear. The Tripiṭaka Master says: When that mind perfumes and forms seeds either broadly or briefly, the eighth cognizes these seeds; the seeds derive their designations of broad, brief, etc., from the active consciousness, not because it cognizes the active consciousness.
