7.63

Answer: If one discusses reflected images, it is indeed as you object. However, the Commentary relies on the fundamental [aspect], which is solely the objective nimitta; thus it speaks only of five, just as the five faculties and so on are all the nimitta-bhāga of the eighth [consciousness]. The essence of the good and evil destinies is actually only the retributive consciousness; since it extends to discussions of graspable and grasper, requisites, and so forth, destinies are also nimitta-bhāga. Time and number are not analogous; consider this.
