瑜伽師地論略纂 13.29

13.29

論云「復次，諸轉識與阿賴耶作二緣性中，云於現法中長養彼種子者，謂如依止阿賴耶識善、不善、無記轉識轉時，如是如是於一依止同生同滅，熏習阿賴耶」等者，此中若熏種同時生滅家，取是文為正。若異時家，於此文云：此謂現行能熏之識，與第八識同生同滅，熏習第八，非現行與種同時生滅。此中有二諍：一家云初帙第五卷種子七義中云，若生異類，即此念生；若生自類，非即此剎那。故知現行望種子，種子望現行，是自類異念生。若爾，云何釋種子六義念念滅俱有？義曰：此但約俱有生滅，非即此剎那中同生同滅。一家云諸種生現、現生種必同時，如種子義及此中文等，如第五卷等種子七義文。言自類者，謂自種子類。種子生種子，自類相生故，非即此剎那。若種望現行，名異類，是即此剎那。又舊種望新種，亦有異類，即此剎那。故此二釋，此文處不同。

The treatise says: "Furthermore, regarding the two conditions that the evolving consciousnesses provide for the ālaya, where it states that in the present life they nourish its seeds, this means that just as when the wholesome, unwholesome, and indeterminate evolving consciousnesses evolve based upon the ālayavijñāna, in this very way, in the same support, they arise together and perish together, perfuming the ālaya..." and so on. Here, the school holding that the perfumed seed arises and perishes simultaneously takes this passage as definitive. The school holding that they arise at different times says regarding this passage: "This means that the active perfuming consciousness arises and perishes simultaneously with the eighth consciousness, perfuming the eighth, but not that the active consciousness arises and perishes simultaneously with the seed." There are two disputes regarding this: One school says that in the first volume, the fifth scroll, regarding the seven characteristics of seeds, it says that if generating a different category, it arises in that very thought-moment; if generating its own category, it does not arise in that very kṣaṇa. Therefore we know that active consciousness in relation to seed, and seed in relation to active consciousness, is of its own category and arises in a different thought-moment. If so, how to explain the six characteristics of seeds where they perish moment by moment and co-exist? The explanation says: This only refers to co-existent arising and perishing, not to arising together and perishing together within that very kṣaṇa. Another school says that when seeds produce active dharmas and active dharmas produce seeds, it must be simultaneous, as in the definition of seeds and this treatise's text, and as in the passage on the seven characteristics of seeds in the fifth scroll and elsewhere. What is termed "its own category" refers to its own seed category. Seed producing seed is mutual production within its own category, and therefore it is not in that very kṣaṇa. When a seed is viewed in relation to an active dharma, it is called a different category, and this is in that very kṣaṇa. Moreover, old seeds viewed in relation to new seeds also have a different category, which is in that very kṣaṇa. Therefore, according to these two explanations, their interpretations of this passage differ.
