### [3.119](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1833.3.119)

詳曰：二俱非理。初師之義，斥如《義燈》。又約三受以辨勝劣，既非聖教無乃意乎？若後師言：但遮第八，餘並能熏，此論應結唯七轉識，可是能熏。何假須說有勝勢用？既言勝等，明有遮簡。又餘六識有所熏故，皆令能熏；第八心所亦應能熏，有所熏故。又言何有心法非能所熏？第八相應，應非心所，非能所熏故。既有多失，故不可依。

> Examination: Both positions are contrary to reason. The view of the first master has already been refuted as in the Yideng. Furthermore, to determine superiority and inferiority on the basis of the three feelings—since this is not from the holy teaching, is it not merely personal conjecture? If one follows the second master's claim that only the eighth is negated and all the rest are capable of perfuming, then this Treatise should conclude that only the seven transforming consciousnesses can be perfuming agents; why would it need to say 'having superior efficacy and power'? Since it says 'superior', etc., it clearly makes an exclusion. Moreover, if the other six consciousnesses are all made capable of perfuming because they have a perfumed \[locus\], then the caitasikas of the eighth should also be capable of perfuming, since they too have a perfumed \[locus\]. Furthermore, as for the claim 'how could there be a mental dharma that is neither perfuming nor perfumed': the dharmas associated with the eighth would have to not be caitasikas, because they are neither perfuming nor perfumed. Since there are many faults \[in these views\], they cannot be relied upon.
