問：下界緣彼上界身器，是何句收？答：性境不隨心。由彼所引，起定通果，色為相分，屬彼本質，性界及種皆不隨心。問：第八可爾？既許眼等亦得緣上，相屬上地，豈非有漏，異界隨增？答：色相不是漏自性故。或約業力，異界不增，定通等引，互增不障。又解，但由上引第八通果，眼等杖之所起相分，自是業果，屬於下界，無隨增失，如通力變為魚米等，引第六識通果之色，為第八質。或雖即杖他八為質，即業果色，是欲界繫。第四卷云：香、味、觸三，而為段食，唯欲界繫故。二解任情，道理亦難，應可思擇。問：下界第八，緣定通色，同時心所相分是何？答：隨能緣心所業果，同種同下界繫，不別體故。問：獨頭散意，緣過去境，及於五根，相分是何？答：是隨其所應，准前義釋。

Question: When the lower realm cognizes the body and vessel world of that higher realm, under which proposition is it subsumed? Answer: An actual object not conforming to the mind. Induced by that, it gives rise to form resulting from concentration and supernormal powers as the nimittabhāga, which belongs to that original basis; nature, realm, and bīja all do not conform to the mind. Question: For the eighth, this may be so; but since the visual and other consciousnesses are conceded to also cognize the higher, and the nimitta belongs to the higher realm, would it not, being sāsrava, conform and increase across realms? Answer: Because the form-nimitta is not the intrinsic nature of sāsrava. Or, according to karmic power, there is no increase across different realms; when induced by concentration and supernormal powers, mutual increase presents no obstacle. Another explanation: merely through the higher realm inducing the eighth consciousness's result of supernormal faculties, the nimittabhāga generated by relying on it through the visual and other consciousnesses is itself a karmic result belonging to the lower realm, so there is no fault of conformity and increase. Just as the power of supernormal faculties transforms fish, rice, and so forth, inducing the form of the result of supernormal faculties of the sixth consciousness to serve as the basis for the eighth. Or, although it relies on the eighth of another as its basis, the karmic result form is bound to the desire realm. Fascicle 4 states that the three—smell, taste, and touch—are morsel food and are bound only to the desire realm. Both explanations depend on preference; the reasoning is indeed difficult and should be contemplated. Question: When the eighth consciousness of the lower realm cognizes form resulting from concentration and supernormal powers, what is the nimittabhāga of its concomitant mental factors? Answer: It conforms to the karmic result of the cognizing mental factors, sharing the same bīja and being bound to the same lower realm, having no distinct substance. Question: When solitary discursive thought cognizes past objects and the five sense faculties, what is the nimittabhāga? Answer: It conforms to what is appropriate, explained according to the previous principles.
