成唯識論演祕 4.220

4.220

詳曰：觀疏釋此種與色識一段之文，總有三節：初以見種，名之為種，現名色識。二、或相下，相種名種，現名色識。然此有二，初總相明，又此所言等下，釋於伏難，顯頌、長行二意別也。三、若以此見分種下，見種名種，現相名色識。今助一義。翻前第三相種名種，現見名色識。

Detailed commentary: Examining the Commentary's explanation of this passage on the seed and the visible form-consciousness, there are three sections in total: First, taking the darśana-bhāga's seed as 'seed', and the active manifestation as 'visible form-consciousness'. Second, under 'Alternatively, the nimitta-bhāga...', taking the nimitta-bhāga's seed as 'seed', and the active manifestation as 'visible form-consciousness'. However, this has two parts: first, explaining the general characteristic; then, under 'Furthermore, regarding what is said here...', resolving an implicit objection and revealing the difference in meaning between the verses and the prose commentary. Third, under 'If taking this seed of the darśana-bhāga...', taking the darśana-bhāga's seed as 'seed', and the active nimitta-bhāga as 'visible form-consciousness'. Now we offer a further interpretation: reversing the previous third, taking the nimitta-bhāga's seed as 'seed', and the active darśana-bhāga as 'visible form-consciousness'.
