瑜伽師地論略纂 14.5

14.5

論云「乃至我終不說此識往於東方乃至四維」者，乃至中也。下文解寂止、無所住、不生、無所為、知足、安住等，是此中乃至也。泰法師云：破外道言也。諸外道計我死後往於東西等，今此非之。如下論云是識住、因緣二種邊際，謂有色界有來有去，無色界識無來無去，故不說往於四維，故知是二種邊際。以識住不離三界，故說住義；窮盡，故名邊際。此即第二段，明二種邊際訖。

The treatise says, "...up to: I ultimately do not say that this consciousness goes to the east, up to the four intermediate directions." The "up to" encompasses the intermediate [phrases]. The explanations below of quiescence, having no abode, non-arising, doing nothing, contentment, abiding, and so forth, are what is included in this "up to". Dharma Master Tai says: this refutes the words of non-Buddhists. Various non-Buddhists conceptualize that after death the self goes to the east, west, and so forth; this is now refuted. As the treatise below says, these are the two extremities of the stations of consciousness and of causes and conditions: in the form realm there is coming and going, while consciousness in the formless realm has no coming and going; hence it does not speak of going to the four intermediate directions. Thus we know these are the two extremities. Because the stations of consciousness do not depart from the three realms, the meaning of abiding is spoken of; exhausting them completely, they are therefore called extremities. This completes the second passage of text, explaining the two extremities.
