7.496

The Commentary states: What this means is: having previously stated that the direct object of cognition is precisely the nimittabhāga, fearing that others might think it does not have consciousness as its substance, this is now established. The previous two syllogisms have already established vijñapti-mātra; there are six separate syllogisms, and this unites them into one: namely, the direct objective conditions of these six consciousnesses are definitely not separate from these six consciousnesses; because they are subsumed under either the nimitta- or the darśanabhāga; like that grasping darśanabhāga. The darśanabhāga is not separate from consciousness, its substance being consciousness itself; hence it is used as the example.
