成唯識論述記 5.735

5.735

述曰：下隨別釋。文復有二：初別解；後料簡。此依主釋，根是主故。《對法》等說，依眼緣色、似色了別，初句即是此識得名，依所依故，此各有種，如《瑜伽》說。問：辨識得名，實通根、境，何為諸論依根得名，謂名眼識乃至意識？

The Commentary states: Below follows the individual explanation. The text again has two parts: first, individual explanation; second, analysis and evaluation. This is a determinative compound (tatpuruṣa), because the faculty is the master. The Abhidharma-samuccaya-bhāṣya and other texts state: 'Relying on the eye, perceiving form, cognizing what resembles form'—the first phrase is how this consciousness receives its name, because it relies on its support. Each of these has its own seed, as expounded in the Yogācārabhūmi. Question: In distinguishing the naming of consciousness, it actually applies to both faculty and object; why do various treatises name them according to the faculty, calling them eye-consciousness up to mental consciousness?
