5.636

述曰:第二,破薩婆多等。彼小乘言,思量名意,過去心是。今破不然,識現生時,意已謝滅,現無思量之用。過去之心,如何名意?

The Commentary states: Second, refuting the Sarvāstivādins and others. Those Hīnayāna masters say that ratiocination (manyanā) is called manas, and that it is the past citta. Now we refute them: it is not so. When consciousness is presently arising, manas has already passed away and ceased, lacking the function of ratiocination in the present. How could past citta be called manas?
