瑜伽師地論略纂 1.14

1.14

The Vibhāṣā explains that naming the five consciousnesses after their sense faculties has three reasons: first, because they are uncommon; second, because they are immediate; third, because they are simultaneous. The Abhidharmasamuccaya and the Vijñaptimātratāsiddhi state that they are named in accordance with the sense faculties because they possess five qualities. "Collection" (kāya) has three meanings: having physical obstruction, relying on the physical body, and meaning an aggregate of entities. The Viniścayasaṃgrahaṇī states: the bases of the five consciousnesses possess physical obstruction, and are therefore called "bodies" (kāya). If so, why are the eye and other faculties not individually called kāya, while only the body faculty is called kāya? The former four rely on the body, with the body being their support; hence it alone is called the body faculty (kāyendriya). If so, the mind also operates relying on the body; why is it not called kāya? In the form realm, the mind operates relying on the body, but in the formless realm this is not so. The eye and other faculties necessarily exist only by relying on the body faculty, and therefore may be called kāya. Furthermore, because it has the meaning of an aggregate of entities, they are all called collections (kāya), as in the six collections of volitions, the six collections of consciousness, and so forth. The former two are uncommon, while this is a common designation. "Associated" (saṃprayukta) has three meanings: first, the sense of reliance; second, equality of time, equality of basis, equality of locus, and equality of object-matter; third, the sense of subsumption.
