（測云）以三義釋阿陀那名：一、以執持名執，謂能持名相等種令不失故；二、以執受名執，謂能執受色根，依處令生覺受故；三、以執取名執，謂能執受結生相續，無性有情不能窮底，故說甚深；趣寂種姓不能通達，故名甚深，此如唯識說。若依世親，深細合釋，故彼論云：甚深細者，難了知故，而不配姓。若依無性言：甚深者，世聰叡者，所覺慧難窮底故。言甚細者，諸聲聞等難了知故，今尋舊譯，興今文相異也。若輕意菩薩意業論云：世尊於深密大乘經中說阿陀那心識，深細不可量，無量諸種子，其數如雨渧，我於凡夫人，不為說此法，非是愛希故，畏更分別我。

(Ce says:) The name ādāna is explained through three meanings: First, it is called appropriation in the sense of holding onto (執持), meaning it is able to hold the seeds of names, characteristics, and the like so that they are not lost. Second, it is called appropriation in the sense of appropriating and experiencing (執受), meaning it is able to appropriate the physical sense faculties and their bases, causing sensation to arise. Third, it is called appropriation in the sense of grasping (執取), meaning it is able to grasp rebirth in continuous succession. Sentient beings lacking the nature [for liberation] cannot fathom its depths, hence it is said to be 'profoundly deep'; those of the gotra destined for quietude cannot penetrate it, hence it is called 'profoundly deep'—this is as explained in the Vijñaptimātratā[siddhi]. If one relies on Vasubandhu, 'deep and subtle' are explained together; hence his treatise says: 'Profoundly deep and subtle, because it is difficult to know', without assigning them to different gotras. If one relies on Asvabhāva, it says: 'Profoundly deep' means that its depth is difficult to fathom by the wisdom perceived by the worldly wise; 'profoundly subtle' means that it is difficult to know for the śrāvakas and others. Now, examining the old translation, it differs in textual character from the present text. As the Bodhisattva *Mati-līna's (?) Manokarmamīmāṃsāśāstra says: 'The World-Honoured One, in the Mahāyāna Saṃdhinirmocanasūtra, spoke of the ādāna mind-consciousness: Deep and subtle beyond measure, with immeasurable seeds, their number like drops of rain; I do not explain this teaching to ordinary beings, not because I am possessive, but out of fear that they will further construct a self.'
