3.166

述曰:自下第二正破安惠、正量部等。量言:如緣青時,若心、心所上無所緣相貌,應不能緣當正起時自心所緣之境,此立宗也;許無所緣相故,因也;如餘所不緣境,喻也,或如餘人境。又量:我餘時緣聲等心,亦應緣今色;許無所緣相故;如今緣自青等之心,餘人亦爾。

The Commentary states: From here below is the second part, directly refuting Sthiramati, the Saṃmatīya, and others. The formal inference (anumāna) states: When cognizing blue, if citta and caitasikas lack the appearance of the cognized object, they should be unable to cognize their own cognized object when precisely arising; this establishes the thesis (pratijñā). Because it is admitted that they lack the appearance of the cognized object; this is the reason (hetu). Like other objects not cognized; this is the example (dṛṣṭānta), or like the objects of other persons. Another inference: My citta cognizing sound and so forth at other times should also cognize the present color; because it is admitted that it lacks the appearance of the cognized object; just like the present citta cognizing its own blue and so forth; for other persons it is also like this.
