述曰:第二上座部救,胸中色物為其意根,非第七者。不然,意非色故,說七心界皆是心故,意識應無二分別故;如五識等依色根故。不言自性分別者,合有二解:一云,五識實有自性;二云,三種皆無。此隨彼語,如《瑜伽》第一抄,《對法》第二抄會,及下第七方可了知。

The Commentary states: The second is the Sthaviranikāya's defense, taking a physical object in the chest as its mental faculty, rather than the seventh consciousness. This is not so, because the mind is not physical matter, and because the seven mind-elements are all said to be mind, and because the mental consciousness would be devoid of the two kinds of conceptual discrimination; just as the five consciousnesses and the like rely on physical faculties. Not mentioning conceptual discrimination of self-nature allows two interpretations: one says that the five consciousnesses genuinely possess self-nature [discrimination]; the second says that they lack all three kinds. Following their words, this can only be fully understood according to the first note of the Yogācārabhūmi-śāstra, the reconciliation in the second note of the Abhidharmasamuccaya, and the seventh fascicle below.
