瑜伽論記 13.17

13.17

It is stated that there are two intentions. First, the respective distinct supports of the six consciousnesses are the six sense faculties, while their common support is the fundamental consciousness; now, this division first clarifies that the eighth [consciousness] is the common support of the five and sixth consciousnesses, and for that reason they are clarified together; whereas the preceding division was based on the meanings of their self-nature, functional activities, and so forth, and for that reason they were separately opened into distinct stages. Second, the six consciousnesses have distinct seed supports; although the ālayavijñāna was clarified in the Maulī Bhūmiḥ, it was only clarified as seed support, and was spoken of in accordance with the six consciousnesses, their functions being distinct; therefore they were separately opened into two stages.
