4.145

詳曰:二互不足。前家闕釋種類之言,明眾所依理亦不盡,後家不辨眾所依義。今者應云:如眼等識俱有依根總有四種,謂同境、分別、染淨、根本。如此論中護法所說:以依非一,名眾所依。論意唯依俱有根說,不得取彼無間滅依顯心王、所,簡彼色等名一種類。

Examination: The two are mutually deficient. The former master lacks an explanation of the phrase 'one class' and fails to exhaust the principle of 'multiple bases'; the latter master fails to distinguish the meaning of 'multiple bases'. Now one should state: just as the simultaneously existing support-faculties of the eye and other consciousnesses are four in total—namely, the same-object, discriminatory, defiling/purifying, and fundamental [bases], as Dharmapāla explains in this Treatise—it is because the bases are not one that they are called 'multiple bases'. The intent of the treatise speaks solely of simultaneously existing faculties; one cannot take the immediately preceding basis to elucidate the primary citta and mental factors. What distinguishes them from matter and so on is called 'one class'.
