成唯識論掌中樞要 1.26

1.26

答：從初所明為名，彼依識所變故，如《瑜伽論》；又從初二段為名，中分亦有唯識言故，謂是諸識轉變等也；或從初、中、後所明為名，第三段云，乃至未起識，求住唯識性等故；或後二段意欲解釋初略標故；或雖所明通一切法無非唯識，故不名餘；又本欲成立唯識義故。此上立「成唯識」名之意歸也。

Answer: It takes its name from what is clarified at the beginning, because those [phenomena] depend on what is transformed by consciousness, as in the Yogācārabhūmi-śāstra. Again, it takes its name from the first two sections, because the middle section also contains the word 'vijñapti-mātra', namely, the transformation of these consciousnesses, and so forth. Or it takes its name from what is clarified at the beginning, middle, and end, because the third section says: 'Until one has not yet aroused the consciousness that seeks to abide in the nature of vijñapti-mātra,' and so forth. Or it is because the later two sections intend to explain the brief initial indication. Or, although what is clarified extends to all dharmas, there is none that is not vijñapti-mātra; therefore it is not named after anything else. Furthermore, it is because its fundamental purpose is to establish the meaning of vijñapti-mātra. Such is the main import of establishing the name 'Cheng weishi' above.
