成唯識論述記 7.491

7.491

述曰：自下為理，有四比量。第一總云，謂立宗云，極成眼等識，不親緣離自色等；因云：五隨一故；喻云：如餘。此中意說，且如五識中取一眼識，極成之眼簡不共許，非極成有法故，即大乘他方佛眼識，小乘佛非無漏眼識，最後身菩薩不善眼識，各有自他不極成故。取一極成眼識，不取不極成眼識，不親緣離自眼識之色。此親緣言：簡他身中自心外色，及第八等所變為眼識本質，彼亦疎所緣緣故，此立宗訖。因云：五識中隨一攝故，此論文略。如餘耳等四識，耳等四識，五識中隨一攝，不親緣離自色。離自色是眼識境故，耳等唯緣不離自聲等故，如是餘四識展轉相望，四量亦爾。今總為言故，眼等識如餘。離自色等不別指也。

The Commentary states: From here on is the reasoning, containing four syllogisms (prayogāmāṇa). The first states generally: setting up the thesis (pakṣa), commonly recognized visual and other consciousnesses do not directly cognize colors and other forms separate from themselves; the reason (hetu) is: because they are subsumed under any one of the five; the example (dṛṣṭānta) is: like the others. What is meant here is: take the visual consciousness from among the five consciousnesses. 'Commonly recognized' (prasiddha) excludes what is not mutually accepted, which would be an unestablished subject (asiddha-dharmin): namely, in the Mahāyāna, the visual consciousness of a Buddha of another realm; in the Hīnayāna, the visual consciousness of a Buddha that is not untainted; and the unwholesome visual consciousness of a bodhisattva in their final existence—each has aspects not commonly recognized by oneself or the other. Taking a commonly recognized visual consciousness and not an unestablished visual consciousness, it does not directly cognize color separate from its own visual consciousness. The words 'directly cognize' exclude colors in another's body that are external to one's own mind, as well as the archetype transformed by the eighth consciousness and the like that serves as the archetype for visual consciousness, since that is a remote objective condition (ālambanapratyaya). This concludes the statement of the thesis. The reason is: because it is subsumed under any one among the five consciousnesses; the treatise text is abbreviated here. It is like the remaining four consciousnesses of the ear and so forth: the four consciousnesses of the ear and so forth are subsumed under any one among the five consciousnesses, and do not directly cognize color separate from themselves. Form separate from itself is the domain of visual consciousness; the ear and the rest only cognize sounds and so forth not separate from themselves. Thus, regarding the remaining four consciousnesses mutually, the four syllogisms are also like this. Now, stating it collectively, visual and other consciousnesses are like the others. 'Separate from their own color and so forth' is not specifically designated.
