7.436

述曰:護法云:前所變中以所變見分名為分別,是依他性,能取於所變依他相分故,起種種遍計所執分別,此是識體所變用能分別,故名分別。其識體所變依他性相分,似所執相分者,名所分別,是前能分別見分之所取相故,非謂我識自體能緣名為分別。起分別見者,識之用也,相、見俱依自證起故。安惠云:所變見分、相分皆計所執,見似能取相,相似見所取,實無二分。解第二句訖。

The Commentary states: Dharmapāla says: Among that which is transformed above, the transformed darśanabhāga is called "discrimination"; being of the paratantra-svabhāva, it can grasp the transformed paratantra-nimittabhāga, and thus gives rise to various parikalpita-svabhāva discriminations. This is the transformed function of the substance of consciousness that is able to discriminate, and therefore it is called "discrimination". The paratantra-svabhāva nimittabhāga transformed by the substance of consciousness, which resembles the parikalpita nimittabhāga, is called "the discriminated", because it is the mark grasped by the preceding darśanabhāga that can discriminate; it does not mean that the intrinsic substance of my consciousness itself being able to cognise is called discrimination. Arising the discriminating view is the function of consciousness, because both nimitta and darśana arise depending on the self-witnessing [division]. Sthiramati says: The transformed darśanabhāga and nimittabhāga are both parikalpita; the darśana resembles a grasper, and the nimitta resembles what is grasped by the darśana, but in reality there are no two divisions. This concludes the explanation of the second line.
