成唯識論了義燈 6.121

6.121

《論》：謂無始來等，釋淨相續。以依本識，第八無漏法爾種子，以為其因，由其轉識，數數熏發，以為其緣，有淨第八，現行相續，即乃至究竟已下釋成相續。問：第七亦續，何不說耶？答：非持種識，故不說之，然此鏡智，唯本有種為因，能生所生現識，名為始起，能持種故，亦名為種。故此論云：轉得始起清淨種識，非謂種子，不可說言以新熏勝。由六、七熏成鏡智種。說此作佛云，得始起清淨種識。以佛功德，唯佛與佛，乃能知之。菩薩不知，緣何熏成，亦不可說名言熏習，非彼境故，如欲界心，雖變上界不熏彼種，是緣名境，非緣事故，果得亦爾，故唯本有種子所生，如初無漏，由餘熏發因滿方生，成事亦爾。

Treatise: 'Beginningless time, etc.,' explains the pure continuum. Relying on the root consciousness, the uncontaminated innate seed of the eighth consciousness serves as its cause; its being repeatedly perfumed and stimulated by the evolving consciousnesses serves as its condition; and there is the continuum of the active manifestation of the pure eighth consciousness. That is, from 'even up to the ultimate' onward, it explains the completion of the continuum. Question: The seventh [consciousness] is also continuous; why is it not mentioned? Answer: Because it is not the consciousness that holds seeds, it is not mentioned. However, this mirror-like wisdom takes solely innate seeds as its cause, capable of producing the manifested consciousness that is produced, which is called newly arisen; because it can hold seeds, it is also called a seed. Therefore, this treatise states: 'One transforms and attains the newly arisen pure seed-consciousness,' not meaning [mere] seeds; it cannot be said that newly perfumed ones are superior. Through the perfuming of the sixth and seventh, the seeds of the mirror-like wisdom are accomplished. Saying that upon attaining buddhahood one 'attains the newly arisen pure seed-consciousness' is because the Buddha's qualities can only be known by a Buddha and a Buddha. Bodhisattvas do not know them; with what object could they perfume and accomplish them? Nor can it be called nominal perfuming, because it is not their object—just as a desire-realm mind, although it manifests an upper realm, does not perfume those seeds, because it takes names as object and does not take phenomena as object. Attaining the result is also like this; therefore, it is produced solely by innate seeds. Just as the initial uncontaminated [mind] is produced only when its cause is complete through other perfuming and stimulation, the accomplishment-of-action [wisdom] is also like this.
