The Commentary states: From here downward is the specific answer. Within it there are two parts: first, establishing its existence through scriptural testimony relying on explicit sūtras; next, establishing its existence through reasoning relying on implicit sūtras. In the first part there are two: first, sūtras not mutually accepted; second, mutually accepted sūtras, clarifying that such sūtras are accepted across both the Mahāyāna and the Hīnayāna. Indeed, fascicle seventy-six [of the Yogācārabhūmi], the Saṃdhinirmocana-sūtra, and the Laṅkāvatāra have abundant passages. The Hīnayāna claims that the future is called citta, the past is manas, and the present is vijñāna, among various such distinctions, but that they have no distinct substantial entities; here it is shown that according to the sūtras they have distinct entities. The general explanation above is now complete.
