詳曰:經亦明言五識現量,今言非者,豈非違教?正釋應云,望執輕重名現非量;五、八執微故名現量,亦如勝義、世俗善等。

Examination: Sūtras also clearly state that the five consciousnesses are direct perception; now to say they are not, would that not contradict the teaching? The proper explanation should be: in view of the severity or lightness of grasping, they are called direct perception or non-valid cognition (apramāṇa); because grasping in the five and eighth consciousnesses is subtle, they are called direct perception, just like ultimate and conventional wholesome states and so forth.
