This means that the seeds of the faculties are impaired and unable to produce actualized states; the seeds of consciousness are not impaired, and these seeds of consciousness stream at all times, whereas the faculties may be defective or non-defective. Thus we know that if there are faculty seeds, they will certainly produce actualized seeds of consciousness; producing consciousness inherently has seeds of consciousness, but faculty seeds do not necessarily produce faculties. It is also said: 'stream' means stream-category. For instance, when the three kinds \[of seeds\] concurrent with consciousness are accomplished, if the faculty is defective, there is the accomplishment of seeds; that stream-category of consciousness can be found whether the faculty is defective or non-defective. Thus we know that consciousness arises when there are faculties, but faculties do not exist because of consciousness. Furthermore, 'stream' means the sense of continuity; that is, consciousness exists elsewhere without faculties, streaming continuously from continuity; when faculties arise, they stream together without faculties, and its faculties may be defective or non-defective. Thus we know that the faculty is superior, and seeing is seeing as such, with no separate meaning. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 15.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.15.31) - [Next: 15.33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.15.33) - [Up: 15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.15) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829~en-mt.15.32) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [瑜伽論記](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.15.418) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.15.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.15.32) · Pramāṇa
