成唯識論述記 5.24

5.24

述曰：論主難云：既眼識時非無意識，五識斷已後意識生；若爾，此是意相續生，如何乃言五識相續？如眼識時無意識，意識時無五識，更遞生故可互相續。此既不爾，故非「二識互相續生」名為相續。此第二、以理成教難。

The Commentary states: The treatise master objects: Since at the time of the eye-consciousness there is no absence of the mano-vijñāna, and after the five vijñānas cease the mano-vijñāna subsequently arises, if so, this is the continuous arising of the mind; how could one say it is the continuity of the five vijñānas? If, as at the time of the eye-consciousness there were no mano-vijñāna, and at the time of the mano-vijñāna there were no five vijñānas, because they would arise alternately, they could mutually continue each other. Since this is not the case, it is not that "two vijñānas arise in mutual succession" that is termed continuity. This is the second objection: using principle to establish the teaching.
