述曰：又解因中第八及六識中異熟之心並不熏者，以極微，故不能熏。以異熟業生法勢力微劣，但任運生，夫能熏者必非無力法故，因中以極微故非能熏。無性之人第七末那亦有勢力，如前已說。佛果上第八，以極圓故，不熏成種，佛身善法無增減故，許若更熏便非圓滿，漸漸增故。由此道理，因中第八及彼心品皆非能熏，故前論言但說有七。

> The Commentary states: It is further explained that the eighth in the causal stage and the retribution minds within the six consciousnesses do not perfume because they are extremely subtle and therefore cannot perfume. Because the power of dharmas born of karmic retribution is weak and inferior, arising only spontaneously; and whatever is capable of perfuming must not be a powerless dharma; thus in the causal stage, being extremely subtle, it is not a capable perfumer. The seventh manas in a person lacking the gotra also has power, as stated earlier. The eighth on the Buddha-fruition, being perfectly complete, does not perfume to form seeds, because the wholesome dharmas of the Buddha-body neither increase nor decrease; if further perfuming were admitted, it would not be perfectly complete, as it would gradually increase. By this reasoning, the eighth in the causal stage and its mental category are not capable perfumers; therefore, the preceding treatise said only seven are discussed.
