瑜伽論記 13.172

13.172

賴耶為二緣者，一、為種子，謂能生彼三性轉識即是因緣，當十因中生起因；二、為彼所依即增上緣，謂由賴耶執持五根方生五識。又由賴耶生，彼末那為依止故，意識得轉，即當十因之內攝受因，以攝受因中，定有三緣故。基云：由第八為境故，得起第七見分。又由第八中種子故，第七得起。具此二義，故作此說。

Regarding the ālayavijñāna serving as two conditions: First, it serves as seed, meaning that its ability to produce those evolving consciousnesses of the three natures is precisely the condition as cause (hetu-pratyaya), corresponding to the generative cause (utpātti-hetu) among the ten causes. Second, it serves as their support, which is the sovereign condition (adhipati-pratyaya), meaning that because the ālayavijñāna holds the five faculties, the five consciousnesses can arise; furthermore, because the ālayavijñāna arises, that manas serves as support, and thereby the mental consciousness is able to evolve, which precisely corresponds to the holding cause (parigraha-hetu) within the ten causes, because within the holding cause there are necessarily three conditions. Kuiji says: Because the eighth serves as object, the seeing portion of the seventh is able to arise; furthermore, because of the seeds in the eighth, the seventh is able to arise. Possessing these two meanings, this is therefore stated.
