瑜伽師地論略纂 2.34

2.34

「謂諸種子不離法故，如法建立」者，隨順薩婆多，言：種子不離心法，如心法建立三世。彼說種子體即心故。隨順經部，言：種子不離色心等法，如色心法建立三世。彼說色心能持種故。今大乘釋：種子不離第八識法，如第八識法建立三世。又種不離現行之外條然有體，如現行法依種子上建立三世。云何建立？種子之上當可生果，名未來；能生種因，名過去；種子自體，名現在。又現行諸法多分間斷，種恒相續。種既不離現行諸法條然有體，法既有三世，故今種子如法建立三世之義。此為總標建立三世所依體，依種子立。下別釋世義。恐有外難種既恒有，應非世攝，故如於法，亦世所收。

As for "because all seeds are not separate from dharmas, they are established in accordance with dharmas": conforming to the Sarvāstivādins, it is said: seeds are not separate from mental dharmas, and the three periods are established in accordance with mental dharmas, for they say that the essence of seeds is precisely mind. Conforming to the Sautrāntikas, it is said: seeds are not separate from dharmas such as form and mind, and the three periods are established in accordance with dharmas of form and mind, for they say that form and mind can preserve seeds. Now the Mahāyāna explains: seeds are not separate from the dharmas of the eighth consciousness, and the three periods are established in accordance with the dharmas of the eighth consciousness. Furthermore, seeds do not possess an essence distinctly separate from active dharmas, just as active dharmas establish the three periods based upon seeds. How are they established? That a seed can produce a fruit in the future is called the future; the cause that was able to produce the seed is called the past; the self-nature of the seed is called the present. Furthermore, active dharmas are for the most part intermittent, whereas seeds are constantly continuous. Since seeds do not possess an essence distinctly separate from active dharmas, and since dharmas have three periods, seeds now establish the meaning of the three periods in accordance with dharmas. This is a general heading showing that the basis for establishing the three periods is established upon seeds. Below, the meaning of the time-periods will be explained specifically. Lest an external opponent object that since seeds are constantly existent they should not be subsumed under the time-periods, [it is said that] just as with dharmas, they are also included in the time-periods.
