述曰：下會違也。論主答曰：依有覆說。謂三位無，隨何乘障有覆性說。無有覆故言無末那，非謂無體，不障彼乘之識。或無漏識，亦得有故，如五十一言四位無阿賴耶，非無第八之體。此類應然，非無第七之體，既不間斷故得為依。言三位者，六十三等說：謂滅盡定、無學位、聖道現前。四位無阿賴耶者，即五十一、及《顯揚》十七等四句中，成就轉識非阿賴耶，謂聲聞、獨覺、不退菩薩、如來，不入無心位。問：六七為依，非七轉時六不轉。八七為依，七既轉時八應轉。又八為七依，依轉七亦轉。八七為依，依轉八亦轉，於此義中應設功力。此中轉者，謂轉無漏。又各別依故因，即色界第八亦依色根，是遍依故，何故不說？

The Commentary states: Below is the resolution of contradictions. The author of the treatise answers: This is spoken with reference to the veiled (nivṛta). That is, its absence in the three states is spoken with reference to the veiled nature that obstructs whichever vehicle. It is said that there is no manas because there is no veiled nature, not that there is no substance, for a consciousness that does not obstruct that vehicle, or an untainted consciousness, may also exist. Just as fascicle fifty-one states that the ālaya is absent in four states, which does not mean that the substance of the eighth is absent, this case should also be like that: it is not that the substance of the seventh is absent. Since it is uninterrupted, it can serve as a basis. As for the 'three states', fascicle sixty-three and others explain: they are the cessation absorption, the stage of the adept (aśaikṣa), and when the noble path is present. As for 'the ālaya is absent in four states', this refers to the four alternatives in fascicle fifty-one and fascicle seventeen of the Prakaraṇāryavācā, etc., where one accomplishes the transformed consciousnesses but not the ālaya, namely: śrāvakas, pratyekabuddhas, non-retrogressing bodhisattvas, and Tathāgatas, when not entering states of mindless absorption. Objection: The sixth takes the seventh as its basis, yet it is not that when the seventh transforms, the sixth does not operate. If the eighth takes the seventh as its basis, then when the seventh transforms, the eighth should transform. Moreover, the eighth serves as the basis for the seventh; when the basis transforms, the seventh also transforms. If the eighth takes the seventh as its basis, then when the basis transforms, the eighth also transforms. In this meaning, effort should be applied. 'Transform' here means transforming into untaintedness. Furthermore, as for the reason of each having a distinct basis: the eighth in the form realm also relies on the physical sense faculties, because it is a pervasive basis; why is this not mentioned?
