成唯識論述記 4.510

4.510

述曰：下正結云。若不許有體微細者，翻前麁也。下翻前動，常、無記、一類性、不變易。復是恒而無斷，體遍三界無處不有，執持壽等，等取根等，無此識在，依何識故說不離身？壽即命根，能持壽者持識種也，壽不滅者命非無也，《攝論》云：非為治此滅定生故，唯為對治諸轉識故。此述正義合遮諸部，薩婆多人先來救義。

The Commentary states: Below it correctly concludes. "If one does not accept that there is one whose entity is subtle" reverses the previous "coarse." Below it reverses the previous "unstable": permanent, indeterminate, of uniform nature, unchanging. Furthermore, it is constant and uninterrupted, its entity pervades the three realms without being absent anywhere, and it holds lifespan and so on—"and so on" includes the faculties, etc. In the absence of this consciousness, on the basis of what consciousness could it be said that it does not depart from the body? Lifespan is the life-faculty; that which can hold lifespan holds the seed of consciousness; that lifespan is not extinguished means life is not absent. The Mahāyānasaṃgraha states: "It is not generated in order to counteract this attainment of cessation; it is generated solely to counteract the evolving consciousnesses." This sets forth the correct doctrine to refute the various schools together. The Sarvāstivādins previously came up with a defense.
