答：即蘊計者雖不言蘊，然指五蘊以為其我。而數論師自言：思我離心、心所別有自體，故《廣百論》第三云：數論外道作如是言：思即是我，其性常住。彼論破云：如是思我離心、心所別有體相，難可了知，故知思我，非即心所，是離蘊攝。

Answer: Those who posit [the self as] identical to the aggregates, though they do not speak of 'aggregates', point to the five aggregates as their self. But the Sāṃkhya teachers themselves state that the self as thought exists as a distinct substance apart from the mind (*citta*) and mental factors (*caitasika*). Therefore, the *Śataka-śāstra-vaipulya*, fascicle three, says: "The Sāṃkhya non-Buddhists say this: 'Thought is the self, and its nature is permanent.'" That treatise refutes them, saying: "Such a self as thought having a distinct substance and characteristics apart from the mind and mental factors is difficult to understand." Thus we know that the self as thought is not identical to mental factors, but is subsumed under being separate from the aggregates.
