次辨眾名，景云：此識、亦名阿陀那。此云執持，執持色根及諸種，亦名賴耶。此云愛藏，執受於身，復於身隱藏同安危，故亦名為心。何以故？由此識色聲香味觸等積集滋長者，此有二義：一、能集色等能集滋長。

Next, distinguishing the various names: Jing says: this consciousness is also named ādāna. Here this means "appropriating and holding," as it appropriates and holds the material faculties and all seeds; it is also named ālaya. Here this means "store of attachment," as it appropriates the body, is further hidden within the body, and shares its safety and peril; therefore it is also named "mind." Why is this? Because by this consciousness, forms, sounds, scents, tastes, tangible objects, etc., are accumulated and nourished. This has two meanings: first, it is capable of accumulating matter, etc., and capable of gathering and nourishing.
