成唯識論演祕 7.91

7.91

無著本論明此等喻，具如《疏》列，無性釋論今此當引。《論》云「幻事喻」者：「如實無象，而有幻象所緣境界；依他起性亦復如是，雖無色等所緣六處，遍計度時，似有所緣六處顯現。」

Asaṅga's root treatise elucidates these similes fully as listed in the Commentary; Asabhāva's commentary should now be cited here. The Treatise says regarding the "simile of the illusion": "Just as in reality there is no elephant, yet there is the objective sphere of an illusory elephant; the dependently arisen nature is also like this: although there are no six objective sensory realms of form and the like, when conceptualized, there is the appearance of resembling six objective sensory realms."
