15.8

第二明分別意與無分別五識同緣現境。有三因緣釋因緣:一、極明了,由彼意識與五識同得現境故意識於境得各明了;二、於彼作意故,根本作意欲取現境故,五識俱生意識同緣彼色;三、由二依資養故,謂彼意識一依意根即是末那。二依眼根亦有資養,由彼眼識依眼了色故,令彼意識取境分明,是故眼根於彼意識亦有資養,故言二依資養。

Second, it clarifies that the conceptualizing mental consciousness and the non-conceptual five consciousnesses cognize the present object together. There are three causes and conditions to explain this: First, being extremely clear: because that mental consciousness apprehends the present object together with the five consciousnesses, the mental consciousness apprehends each clearly with respect to the object. Second, because of attention directed toward it: because root attention desires to grasp the present object, the mental consciousness co-arising with the five consciousnesses cognizes that form together [with them]. Third, because of nourishment from two supports: that mental consciousness, on the one hand, relies on the mental faculty, namely manas. On the other hand, it also receives nourishment by relying on the eye faculty: because that visual consciousness discerns form relying on the eye, it enables that mental consciousness to grasp the object distinctly; therefore, the eye faculty also provides nourishment to that mental consciousness, hence it is said to have 'nourishment from two supports.'"
