成唯識論述記 4.954

4.954

述曰：如世間王為臣所依，非如臣等為王所依，以非主故。此喻但據少分為論，體不相似。臣與王非六處，定等四義不具故。非所依據一邊說，不得更互為因依故。此所說喻非具正合。

The Commentary states: It is like a worldly king who serves as the support for ministers, not like ministers serving as the support for a king, because they are not sovereign. This metaphor is formulated only on the basis of a partial aspect; their substances are not truly similar. Ministers and kings are not the six bases, and they do not fully possess the four criteria such as determination. Saying they are not a support is based on one side, since they cannot mutually serve as causal supports for one another. This stated metaphor is not fully and directly congruent.
