成唯識論演祕 4.61

4.61

Some say that nirvāṇa without remainder is the example. Since that school allows mind in the absorption of cessation, the other mindless states should also be like that. Thus the Karmasiddhi states: 'Do all mindless states also possess mind? It should be as maintained by a group of Sūtradhāras, that subtle mind still exists in those states.' Therefore one should not use fainting as an example. Some argue: If so, the reason becomes inconclusive, because caitasikas are absent in states like fainting. Therefore it should be combined into: 'States such as cessation must lack the mental consciousness, because they lack the universal (mahābhūmika) caitasikas, just as in the states where eye consciousness, etc., do not operate.' Or nirvāṇa without remainder can also serve as the example, or a corpse, etc., can also serve as the example.
