成唯識論述記 7.434

7.434

述曰：長行有二：初、正釋頌文；後、問答廣辨。釋頌文中，初、二復次；後、總結。「是諸識」者，解頌初句上之三字，即本識等三能變識并心所法，言王并臣，舉首及末。安惠解云：何名轉變？謂是三識自體皆轉變似見、相二分，識自體分名為轉變。轉變者，變現義，即識自體現似二相，實非二相，其實二相即所執故，即遍計所執似依他有，理實無也；或轉變者，是變異義，謂一識體變異為見、相二分用起也。護法菩薩解云：又轉變者，是改轉義，謂一識體改轉為二相起，異於自體，即見有能取之用，相有質礙用等，由識自體轉起能取及有礙故；或變是現義，如初卷解，今取自體能轉變也。此即解第一句頌訖。

The Commentary states: The prose has two parts: first, directly explaining the text of the verse; second, broadly discerning it through questions and answers. In explaining the verse text, first there are two alternative formulations; later there is a general conclusion. "These consciousnesses" explains the first three characters of the verse's first line—namely, the three transformative consciousnesses such as the fundamental consciousness together with mental factors; speaking of the king together with the retinue, it mentions the head and the end. Sthiramati explains: What is meant by "transformation"? It means that the intrinsic substances of these three consciousnesses all transform to resemble the two divisions of darśana and nimitta; the self-witnessing division of consciousness is named "transformation". "Transformation" means manifesting: that is, the substance of consciousness manifests resembling two marks, but in reality they are not two marks; for in reality the two marks are what is grasped, being the parikalpita resembling the paratantra as existing, while in actual principle they are absent. Or, "transformation" means alteration: that is, the single substance of consciousness alters into the arising of the functions of the two divisions of darśana and nimitta. Bodhisattva Dharmapāla explains: Furthermore, "transformation" means changing and turning: that is, the single substance of consciousness changes and turns into the arising of two marks, distinct from its intrinsic substance—darśana has the function of grasping, while nimitta has the function of physical obstruction and so forth—because the substance of consciousness turns to give rise to the grasping and the obstructive; or "transformation" means manifesting, as explained in the first fascicle; here the intrinsic substance being able to transform is taken. This concludes the explanation of the verse's first line.
