成唯識論述記 7.361

7.361

述曰：上來第二答五位訖。自下第三料簡五位有三：一、問死生；二、釋不說入無餘位；三、解誰具。今此第一寄問寬狹，攝法不盡，後約凡聖，辨五有、無。初中先問，後答，此即問也。一切正死、生時亦無第六，何故但說五位無第六？應言七位故。

The Commentary states: Above, the second part answered concerning the five states, which is now finished. From here on, the third part investigates the five states, comprising three sections: first, asking about death and birth; second, explaining why entering the state without remainder is not mentioned; third, explaining who possesses them. Here, the first section raises a question regarding scope, that the subsumption of dharmas is not exhaustive, and subsequently differentiates the presence or absence of the five according to ordinary beings and noble ones. In the first part, the question comes first, followed by the answer; this is the question. At the exact times of all death and birth, the sixth consciousness is also absent; why then speak only of five states being without the sixth consciousness? One should have stated seven states.
