瑜伽論記 1.97

1.97

Lord Ji resolves the difficulty and asks: Why is it said of the five consciousnesses that they are 'associated with the groups', while the mental consciousness is not said to be 'associated with the group', and neither is it called the 'stage of the mind' or 'stage of consciousness'? All these are as in the Commentary. Why is it that, although mental factors are so numerous, only investigation, reflection, and concentration—present or absent—are used to elucidate distinctions in status, function, and so forth, rather than using wisdom/non-wisdom, delusion/non-delusion, and so forth to distinguish status and function?
