述曰:若六果生,便有此失。彼若救言,如摩醯首羅面有三目,復有龍王有八萬眼,有六種體,於理何違?難此不爾,不可說心中之種生此眼,心所中種能生彼眼,即應一念有六本識。又無多眼者,彼如何通?故唯心王持種於理為善。又如人二眼,識但是一,多眼龍王何必識多。又若許爾,即一有情有六本識,便為六身,非為一體。
The Commentary states: If six fruits are produced, this flaw would follow. If he rescues his position by saying: Just as Maheśvara has three eyes on his face, and furthermore there is a nāgarāja who has eighty thousand eyes, having six kinds of entities—what contradiction is there with principle? Refuting this: It is not so. It cannot be said that the seed within the mind produces this eye and the seeds within the caitasikas can produce that eye, for then there would be six root consciousnesses in a single moment. Furthermore, for those who do not have multiple eyes, how can he explain that? Therefore, only the cittarāja sustaining seeds is logically sound. Moreover, just as a human has two eyes but consciousness is only one, why must a nāgarāja with multiple eyes have multiple consciousnesses? Furthermore, if that were granted, then a single sentient being would have six root consciousnesses, which would mean having six bodies, not a single entity.
