13.64

Furthermore, that outsider posits that it is not that a single consciousness can sustain all faculties, but that each causal consciousness can sustain its own faculty; this must now be refuted. Therefore, the fourth reason states: 'Furthermore, the groups of six consciousnesses evolve individually... up to... is the fourth reason.' Herein there are two parts: first, directly refuting according to the posited view; second, conceding the posited view to pursue the objection. This means: for instance, when the visual consciousness arises, the remaining faculties such as the ear, lacking consciousness, should rot and disintegrate (thesis), because they lack a sustaining consciousness (reason), since in the Hīnayāna school the various consciousnesses do not arise simultaneously, just like a corpse (example).
