瑜伽論記 16.128

16.128

基云：七色，獨不能於義轉，與非色為伴方能取境，餘十四根色非色為伴。今尋前明十八界中一及一少分是獨能取非助伴能取者，則是意識，意識心所不依五根故，名獨能取。今此文中，何故說餘有義根色非色為助伴，解云：言總意別。又解：前文約同境義說為助伴，故意識名獨。今此文中約相藉義說助伴，故諸有以根通藉色非色為伴。

Ji says: The seven form [faculties] cannot operate on objects alone; only by having non-form as a companion can they grasp objects. The remaining fourteen faculties have form and non-form as companions. Now, examining the previous explanation of the eighteen realms where one and a fraction of one are able to grasp alone and do not grasp by means of a companion, that refers to mental consciousness; mental consciousness and its mental factors do not rely on the five faculties, hence they are called grasping alone. Now in this text, why does it say the remaining faculties that have objects take form and non-form as companions? The explanation says: The words are general, but the intention is specific. Another explanation says: The previous text spoke of companions in the sense of having the same object, hence mental consciousness was called 'alone'; now this text speaks of companions in the sense of mutual reliance, hence the various faculties that have objects generally rely on form and non-form as companions.
