2.192

Regarding the seventh consciousness, it is not specified in which realm it first arises and later takes birth, because it is not fixed. If one holds that in the form realm there is no turning of the mind, its initial arising is exclusively in the desire realm; if one holds that in the form realm there is turning of the mind, its initial arising pervades the form realm. Because it is not within meditative absorption, its initial arising is dharmā-nairātmya; if [referring to] equality [wisdom], its initial arising is in the body of the form realm.
