成唯識論演祕 2.223

2.223

詳曰：觀此斷意其理非無，然稍雜亂，轉與隨轉有何差別，近因、剎那二起何殊？許於初念有多七支，復無文故，故第四釋理最為勝，餘皆有失思准可悟。又新熏等前有八釋，以今無表所依種義所有五釋歷彼前八，一一有五成四十釋，其正不正量可知矣。

Detailed assessment: Looking at the sense of this conclusion, its principle is not absent, but it is somewhat confused. What difference is there between 'transforming' and 'following along'? What is the distinction between 'proximate cause' and 'momentary origination'? Furthermore, there is no text that admits multiple sets of seven factors in the initial moment. Therefore, the rationale of the fourth explanation is the most superior, and the rest all have shortcomings, which one can understand by contemplation. Furthermore, with regard to newly perfumed [seeds] and so forth, there were previously eight explanations; applying the five explanations of the meaning of the seeds upon which the unmanifest relies to those previous eight, each having five, yields forty explanations. Their correctness or incorrectness can be known by inference.
