2.103

或有疏云,不須加減。略為二釋:一云義是,「不」字非也,然有無境雖皆所緣,但意所緣非五識境,據義而言當須加減,非文不正須加減之。二、「不」字正義言謬也,彼文既正。第一解中不須減出「五識設所緣」等五字,但如初作五在有法,即無過故。二釋俱通,後解稍順。

Some versions of the Commentary say: "There is no need for addition or deletion." There are briefly two explanations: The first says that the meaning is correct, but the word "not" is an error. Although existent and non-existent objects are both objects, they are only objects of the mind and not the objects of the five consciousnesses; speaking in terms of meaning, there must be addition or deletion, not that the text is ungrammatical and requires addition or deletion. The second says that the word "not" is correct and the word "meaning" is mistaken, since that text is already correct. In the first explanation, there is no need to delete the five characters "even if the five consciousnesses' objects, etc."; merely treating the five as the subject as initially proposed avoids fault. Both explanations are plausible, but the latter is slightly more fluent.
