5.136

[The Commentary states:] This means that because caitasikas are not separate from consciousness, when speaking of consciousness, caitasikas are already spoken of. As in the term 'vijñapti-mātra', there is no error of contradicting scripture. Because treatises state that there is what belongs to a self, we know it takes caitasikas as cognitive object. If it took the objective sphere of the basic consciousness as cognitive object, since that objective sphere is indefinite, this doctrine could not be established by taking that as cognitive object.
