成唯識論述記 1.378

1.378

述曰：此敘正義，文易可知。心、心所法因緣力等者，謂由七識熏習種子因緣力故，阿賴耶識生於諸趣，相續無斷。六識造業，此并第八，亦能受果，於理無違。又心、心所即第八識，自許種子因緣力故，其現行識相續無斷。即此六識有時造業，并與第八，亦能受果，於理無違。又八識等心、心所法各自種子因緣力故，諸趣五蘊相續無斷，即此假者。六識作業，六、八受果，於理無違，除第七識。

The Commentary states: This recounts the correct doctrine; the text is easily understood. 'Through the power of causes and conditions of citta and caitasika dharmas' means that through the power of causes and conditions of seeds perfumed by the seven consciousnesses, the ālayavijñāna is born in the various realms, continuous without interruption. The six consciousnesses create karma, and these together with the eighth can also experience fruit; there is no contradiction with reason. Furthermore, citta and caitasikas are just the eighth consciousness: through the power of causes and conditions of its own admitted seeds, its active consciousness is continuous without interruption. These same six consciousnesses at times create karma, and together with the eighth, can also experience fruit; there is no contradiction with reason. Furthermore, through the power of causes and conditions of their own seeds for citta and caitasika dharmas such as the eight consciousnesses, the five aggregates in the various realms are continuous without interruption, which are precisely this designated person. The six consciousnesses perform karma, and the six and the eighth experience fruit; there is no contradiction with reason, excluding the seventh consciousness.
