相續果識與名色俱，乃至衰老等者，基云：若依分位初七日前名識，七七日前名名色，今說諸位本末狹寬，以說相依攝六處等，但言此二乃至衰老，非更無餘，又於現在生老死支中，因識名色生果相顯，故說其名，非識等支在現在世，九十三中識為所依說識業與異熟果，今說能依故言名色業與異熟果，總別異熟能依所依別故。由必依託六依轉者，即名色中所攝六根。是故經言名色緣識者，此依菩薩逆觀苦集至識名色更互為緣，觀諦既周，見互為緣牽，故觀苦集至識乃止，如九十三廣釋。隨其所應為六識所依者，非唯說五種中識種所生現識，彼唯第八，故九十三及此下說總依一切相續為名說六識身，義顯總說一期身識故，名色緣識，由識執持識為所依，識緣名色杖彼為依或觀為境。

Regarding 'The continuous fruit-consciousness together with name-and-form, up to decline and old age' and so on, Ji says: If based on stages, prior to the first seven days it is called consciousness; prior to the seven sets of seven days it is called name-and-form. Now speaking of the narrower and broader scopes of the fundamental and derivative states, by speaking of mutual dependence it subsumes the six sense bases and the like, only mentioning these two up to decline and old age, not that there are no others. Furthermore, within the present links of birth and old age and death, because the manifestation of fruit arisen from consciousness and name-and-form is prominent, their names are spoken; it does not mean that the links of consciousness and the rest reside in the present lifetime. In [Fascicle] 93, with consciousness as the support, it speaks of the karma of consciousness conferring the fruit of karmic maturation; here, speaking of the supported, it says that the karma of name-and-form confers the fruit of karmic maturation, because general and distinct karmic maturations, as well as the supported and the support, are distinct. 'Because it must necessarily roll along reliant on the six supports' refers precisely to the six sense faculties subsumed within name-and-form. 'Therefore the sūtra says name-and-form is conditioned by consciousness': this relies on the bodhisattva's reverse contemplation of suffering and its origin up to consciousness and name-and-form conditioning each other mutually; having completed the contemplation of the truths, seeing that they pull each other as mutual conditions, the contemplation of suffering and origin stops at consciousness, as extensively explained in [Fascicle] 93. 'Serving as the support for the six consciousnesses according to their correspondency' does not merely speak of the manifest consciousness generated by the seed of consciousness among the five seeds, which is solely the eighth; hence Fascicle 93 and below speak comprehensively of the continuous aggregation of all to name the six groups of consciousness, the meaning revealing that it speaks collectively of the consciousness of a single lifespan's body. Therefore, name-and-form is conditioned by consciousness, being held and maintained by consciousness, with consciousness as its support; consciousness is conditioned by name-and-form, relying on it as a support or observing it as an object.
