外質意云：若識、壽、煖俱能持故，難識同餘不通三性及於無漏，亦應壽、煖俱能持故？煖同於壽，煖不是煖，煖雖能持，不同於壽，而得名煖。識雖能持，不同餘二，而通三性及於無漏。

The opponent's query means: 'If consciousness, lifespan, and warmth can all sustain, and you challenge me saying consciousness must be like the others in not extending to the three moral natures and to the uncontaminated, then should it not also be that, because warmth and lifespan can both sustain, warmth must be identical to lifespan? Warmth is not lifespan; warmth, although able to sustain, is not identical to lifespan and yet is named warmth. Consciousness, although able to sustain, is not identical to the other two and yet extends to the three natures and to the uncontaminated.'
