成唯識論述記 5.116

5.116

述曰：此有二解，一云：但總聚言，不須分別，種子不離識自體故，亦名為緣，即是正義。二云：以二所依即所緣故，即是第七緣種等義。不爾，因緣依此便非有；無間滅依，此理定無，第七不緣自前念故。

[The Commentary states:] There are two interpretations of this. The first says: It is merely spoken in aggregate without need for differentiation; because the seed is not separate from the substance of consciousness itself, it is also called an ālambana, which is the correct meaning. The second says: Because the two supports are themselves the cognitive object, this means the seventh takes seeds and the like as its cognitive object. Were it not so, the causal condition support would not exist here; as for the support as immediate cessation, it definitely does not exist by this reasoning, because the seventh does not take its own preceding moment as cognitive object.
