成唯識論演祕 3.969

3.969

傳有兩解：一云顯第六識相續遍依，非如第八恒相續言，應在初說語法故。二云此舉賴耶行相，返顯第六無是行相，故不可依冷觸漸起。有義：遮轉識中，總有六因。第六因中，餘德兩釋，前解為正。破本疏云：逢境即緣是第五因，逢依即止是第四因，離四、五因如何別說？

Tradition transmits two explanations: The first says it shows that the sixth consciousness is continuous and pervasively supported, and it does not mean 'permanently continuous' like the eighth consciousness, because the phrasing ought to come at the beginning. The second says this cites the ākāra of the ālaya to contrast and reveal that the sixth has no such ākāra, and therefore cannot be that upon which the cold tactile sensation gradually arises. An opinion holds: Among the refutations of the evolving consciousnesses, there are six reasons in total. Within the sixth reason, other virtuous ones gave two explanations, the former explanation being correct. Refuting the original Commentary, they say: Meeting an object and immediately cognizing it is the fifth reason; meeting a support and immediately stopping is the fourth reason. Apart from the fourth and fifth reasons, how could this be stated separately?
