成唯識論演祕 3.638

3.638

按《無性論》第一釋云：心體第三，若離阿賴耶識無別可得者，謂如意聲說染污意無間滅意，識聲則說六種轉識。如是心聲離彼二種，無體可得。非無有體，而有能詮；亦非異門，意、識二聲所詮異故。此中體聲，意取所詮，是故成就阿賴耶識等者，顯阿賴耶識是心聲所詮，道理決定。

According to the explanation in fascicle one of Asabhāva's commentary: As for "the substance of citta is the third, and apart from the ālaya-vijñāna no distinct [entity] can be obtained," this means that just as the term manas speaks of the defiled manas and the immediately preceding cessation manas, and the term vijñāna speaks of the six types of evolving consciousness, so the term citta, apart from those two types, has no obtainment of substance. It is not that it lacks an existent substance yet possesses an expressive term; nor is it a synonym, because the things expressed by the two terms manas and vijñāna are distinct. Here the term "substance" means the signified referent; therefore the establishment of the ālaya-vijñāna and so forth shows that the ālaya-vijñāna is the referent expressed by the term citta, a principle that is definite.
