答：且五根類假實別論，法同分攝；攝假從實，色界所收，識類亦爾。論據攝假隨實門明，亦無有失。而難意云：兩心前後異識同類，一俱識蘊；色、心二法殊根同類，一俱色蘊。若言色、心別，不得同造色，亦可心、色殊？根類不應等，廣破如餘。

Answer: For now, whether the class of the five faculties is treated nominally or substantially, it is subsumed under generic similarity (dharma-sabhāgatā); subsuming the nominal under the real, it is included in the material realm (rūpa-dhātu). The class of consciousness is also like this. When the Treatise explains based on the gate of subsuming the nominal under the real, there is no fault. And the objection against the mental faculty means: two minds, prior and posterior, are different consciousnesses of an identical class, together belonging to the consciousness aggregate; matter and mind, two dharmas, are distinct faculties of an identical class, together belonging to the aggregate of matter. If you say that matter and mind are different and cannot both be derived matter, could it not also be that mind and matter are distinct, so the class of faculties should not be equivalent? A full refutation is as found elsewhere.
