成唯識論述記 2.49

2.49

述曰：自下第二、別破五根。色等五塵，世間共見，現量所得；眼等五根，非現量得。雖第八識緣及如來等緣是現量得，世不共信，餘散心中無現量得，以但能有發識之用，比知是有，此非他心及凡六識現量所得，唯除如來。如來小乘計，亦為現量得，非世共許故，不為證。

The Commentary states: From here downward is the second part, specifically refuting the five faculties. The five dust-objects such as visible form are seen in common by the world and attained through direct perception (pratyakṣa); the five faculties such as the eye are not attained through direct perception. Although the eighth consciousness cognizing them and the Tathāgata and others cognizing them is attained through direct perception, this is not commonly believed by the world; in other ordinary, distracted states of mind they are not attained through direct perception. Since they merely have the function of generating consciousness, they are known to exist through inference; they are not attained through the direct perception of other minds or the ordinary six consciousnesses, with the sole exception of the Tathāgata. In the Hīnayāna doctrine, the Tathāgata also attains them by direct perception, but because this is not commonly accepted by the world, it is not used as proof.
