瑜伽論記 9.67

9.67

基云：此意明，一切世間人於眾事中隨眾生所起言說意解所證之事眾共成者，是此真實體故，謂地唯是地等者是，此唯是此乃至非不如是，謂此地唯是地，水唯是水，不是火風等，起決定解世間共許故，無始傳來非今卒慮，此等真實體。

Ji says: The meaning here explains that among all worldly affairs, what all people jointly establish in accordance with the objects verified through the verbal designations and conceptual understandings generated by sentient beings is the substance of this reality. That is why it says 'earth is only earth,' and so forth; that is, this is only this, up to not being otherwise—namely, that this earth is only earth, water is only water, and not fire, wind, and so forth. Generating a definitive understanding is universally accepted in the world; having been transmitted from beginningless time, it is not a sudden thought of the present. These are the substance of this reality.
