The Commentary states: Below is the fifth: the objection concerning contradictions with various teachings. Question: As in the Saṃdhinirmocana-sūtra and others, the five consciousnesses are induced by the mental consciousness. In the Yogācārabhūmi, fascicle three, the five consciousnesses induce the mental consciousness, and an inquiring mind arises. The Buddhabhūmi-sūtra and Mahāyānasūtrālaṃkāra say: when the equality wisdom first arises, and when the eighth first attains purity. The Mahāyānasaṃgraha relies on defilement, the Abhidharmasamuccaya relies on compassionate vows, etc.; all say that the various consciousnesses mutually induce and generate one another. Is this not scriptural evidence for different categories? Why do you now explain the text to the contrary?
