成唯識論述記 8.554

8.554

述曰：此會違文。《集論》第四，無明望行有因緣者，依於無明俱時之思業習氣說，無明俱故，假說無明，實是行種，非實無明。無明既爾，餘支准知。此依別體，非分位故。彼論以無明為首，例餘應亦爾故。彼且以無明作法，此偏會之。

The Commentary states: This reconciles the conflicting texts. When the fourth [fascicle of the] Samuccaya states that ignorance has the condition of cause (hetu-pratyaya) in relation to volitional formations, it speaks based on the habit-energy of karmic volition that is concurrent with ignorance; because it is concurrent with ignorance, it is metaphorically called ignorance, but in reality it is the seed of volitional formations, not real ignorance. Since ignorance is so, the remaining links should be understood accordingly. This is based on distinct entities (svabhāva) rather than states (avasthā). Since that treatise takes ignorance as the foremost, by analogy the rest must also be so. That text merely uses ignorance to formulate the principle, and this text specifically reconciles it.
